USS Los Angeles (CA-135)


"The first phase of reactivation work began today (Tuesday, December 5) aboard the heavy cruiser USS Los Angeles (CA-135) at the San Francisco Naval Shipyard. Today, Yard workmen removed the ship's gun covers and prepared for all-out reactivation. When the ship is re-commissioned, probably during mid-January 1951, special ceremonies will be held and it is hoped by local Navy officials that the Honorable Fletcher Bowrow, Mayor of Los Angeles, will be present."
Text quoted from the original photo caption, which was released on 5 December 1950.
The ship recommissioned on 27 January 1951, following reactivation work at Hunter's Point, San Francisco, California, where this photograph was taken.
