USS Kingman (APB-47) Probably shown in July 1945 soon after commissioning and completing fitting out at New Orleans. The ship appears to have a full-size crew on board. She spent July transiting the Mississippi River delta, undergoing three days of shipyard work at Mobile, Ala., and in shakedown at Galveston, Texas. She called at Pearl Harbor, a less likely location for this photograph, in early September before sailing for occupation duty in Japan.

USS Kingman (APB-47) Probably shown in July 1945 soon after commissioning and completing fitting out at New Orleans. Note the layout of this ship, with a single level deckhouse running most of the length of the ship, the pilot house forward, stack aft, and a Welin davit on each side amidships. She had kingposts and booms forward for use in loading supplies and passing them to the ships she supported. Photo No. 19-N-86530 Source: U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command |
