Photo #: NH 50005
USS Shaw (DD-373)
Off the Pearl Harbor Navy Yard, circa 8 February 1942, after
installation of a temporary bow. Her forward magazines had exploded
during the Japanese attack of 7 December 1941.
Soon after this photograph was taken, Shaw steamed to
the Mare Island Navy Yard, California, for permanent repairs.
Note that she is essentially intact from her foremast aft, and
retains # 3 5"/38 gun for protection during the voyage to
the west coast.
Ford Island is in the background, with the capsized hull of USS
Oklahoma (BB-37) at the extreme right.
Official U.S. Navy Photograph, from the collections of the
Naval Historical Center.
