07 A Greasy Bath
From what I've been told this makeshift tub was filled with a mixture of seawater, oil, and diesel fuel.
Gunnery Mate James McKeon is second from the left in this photo (Thanks to his son Jim McKeon for the ID).
Looking more closely I think these guys may be the Gunners Mates.
I believe Hamilton is next to McKeon, third from the left and Dial is 4th from the left.
Second from the right looks like Clendenin and far right looks to be Frank.
I can't place the sailor on the far left.
