Trailing astern, Barry followed the merchant ship, heading east away from the quarantine zone, until morning. After dawn, the destroyer closed the merchant, to "obtain photographs of deck cargo", until late morning when Barry shaped course for the aircraft carrier USS Essex (CVS-9) for refueling and transfer of photographic personnel. It is maden voyage of turbine dry cargo vessel Metallurg Anosov (delivery date of the vessel 29/09/1962).](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/16/P-3A_VP-44_over_USS_Barry_%28DD-933%29_and_Metallurg_Anosov_during_Cuban_Missile_Crisis_1962.jpg/782px-P-3A_VP-44_over_USS_Barry_%28DD-933%29_and_Metallurg_Anosov_during_Cuban_Missile_Crisis_1962.jpg)
