At a meeting of West and East recently at the Charleston (S. C.) Naval Base, Uncle Sam transferred two of his crack destroyers to the Republic of China government of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek. Lt. Cmdr. L. J. Hubble (left), who was inspector-instructor of the Butte Naval Reserve Division at Clark Park until last October, when he relinquished the assignment to become commanding officer of the destroyer USS Hilary P. Jones, is shown yielding his ship to Capt. Chang Jan Yao. The Jones thereupon became the CRS Han-Yang. The Charleston ceremonies were attended by high ranking members of the diplomatic corps of the two nations, members of the Congress and American and Chinese naval and military figures. Full Chinese crews replaced the American sailors aboard both vessels, which then headed for Formosa.
