Original caption: "'Take Five' - Mr. Melvin Werner (center), a welder with the U.S. Naval Shipyard, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and two Vietnamese welders with the Saigon Naval Shipyard relax for a few minutes between periods of instructions on better welding techniques. Mr. Werner and three other welders from the Naval Shipyard at Pearl Harbor, currently on a six weeks tour under the United States Military Assistance Program, are teaching welding techniques to Vietnamese welders at the Saigon Naval Shipyard. They will return to Pearl Harbor on 12 December." An American man and two Vietnamese men laugh together. They are holding welding masks.
