Carrier Deck Park
This view looks across a small gap between the USS Mount Baker (AE-34) and the USS Independence (CV-62) during a replenishment at sea in the Eastern Mediterranean in the summer of 1982. The multiple lines include those for measuring the distance between us and also for moving cargo and ammunition over to the carrier.
Visible aircraft include F-14A Tomcat air superiority fighters of VF-32 Swordsmen and single-engine medium attack A-6E Intruders of VA-176 Thunderbolts. Along the catwalk, the multiple small canisters are liferafts.
Scanned from a colour slide.
