Delivering an engine
An A-6 engine being transferred to the USS Independence (CV-62) during a replenishment at sea in the Mediterranean. At the time I believe it was the heaviest item that could be transferred in such a way.
An electronic warfare EA-6B Prowler aircraft of VAQ-131 Lancers, two A-7E Corsair light attack aircraft belonging to VA-15 Valions and a third belonging to VA-87 Golden Warriors can be seen on the flight-deck, along with a couple of F-14s in the distance.
Taken from aboard USS Mount Baker.
