USS Jamestown (AGP-3) Moored to a buoy, probably after completion of the overhaul she received at San Pedro, Calif. between February and July 1944. During this overhaul six 20mm AA guns, visible in the photo, were added to her armament. She is wearing camouflage Measure 31 Design 11P, which was designed for her in June 1944. The camouflage drawing is posted on the "Online Library of Selected Images" under Photo # 80-G-174532. Photo No. 19-N-70864 Source: U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command |
