Here we see a group of German prisoners from U-185 on the fore deck of the Clenson class destroyer USS Barker (DD-213), about to be transfered by cable to the escort carrier USS Core (CVE-13). The U-boat had been sunk by aircraft from the Core on 24 August 1943, and 36 survivors rescued by the Barker.
