Description |
English:
View of the reserve fleet laid up at the U.S. Naval Station San Diego, California (USA), during the 1950s or 1960s. The ships in foreground are mostly minesweepers and escort carriers, seven
Commencement Bay
-class and four
Casablanca
-class. Among ships in first row are: USS
Chief
(MSF-315), USS
Competent
(MSF-316), USS
Defense
(MSF-317), USS
Zeal
(MSF-131) and USS
Symbol
(MSF-123). The light aircraft carrier in the center background is most probably USS
San Jacinto
(CVL-30). The photo was probably taken before 1959, when the aircraft carrier USS
Philippine Sea
(CV-47) arrived.
Zeal
was sunk as a target 9 January 1967.
