USS Anne Arundel (AP-76) Near the New York Navy Yard on 20 September 1942. This ship, like her near-sisters of the Elizabeth C. Stanton and Lyon classes, had only two Welin davits and carried most of her landing craft on deck. Photo No. 19-N-34578 Source: U.S. National Archives, RG-19-LCM

USS Anne Arundel (AP-76) Near the New York Navy Yard on 1 May 1943. The ship has received 40mm twin mounts in raised gun tubs fore and aft, but has not yet lost the large gun on the stern. This gun is now a 5"/51 instead of the 4"/50 that she had when commissioned. It was probably removed shortly after this photograph was taken.

USS Anne Arundel (AP-76) Photographed from USS Ancon (AGC-4) during the assault on Scoglitti, Sicily in July 1943. The photograph is dated 10 July 1943, the date of the landings, but it was probably taken slightly earlier because the ship still has a full load of landing craft. She has been rearmed--the two forward 3"/50 guns have been lowered and a 40mm twin mount has been added on a raised platform between them. The same arrangement is also visible aft.
