USS Arlington (AP-174) Probably photographed in San Francisco Bay near the end of her tour as a training ship for the Pre-Commissioning Center for auxiliary ships at Treasure Island. The single 40mm guns in tubs near the foremast, one of which is visible here, were fitted in mid-1945, and her training ship duty ended in September. Note the crew over the side on platforms, probably painting the ship. Photo No. NH 86972 Source: U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command |
