USS Adirondack (AGC-15)
In the James River Reserve Fleet, 27 May 1962.
Visible to her starboard is the stern of USS Galilea (AKN-6)
and the bow of (probably) USS Libra (AKA-12). The stern
of Galilea shows the condition of the ship when her conversion
from LSV to AKN was cancelled incomplete in December 1946.
Libra and a few other early AKAs can be recognized by
the heavy central kingposts added to the goalpost masts forward
and aft of the bridge.
