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.
