USS Chincoteague (AVP-24)
A port side view of the amidships portion of the ship taken on
15 December 1943 at the Mare Island Navy Yard.
The ship was completing repairs to severe battle damage incurred
in July 1943. Significant changes, mostly to the anti-aircraft
armament, boat stowage, and electronic antennas, are circled.
The nearest destroyer in the background is USS Thatcher
(DD-514).
