USS Toledo (CA-133)
Crewmen loading ammunition from a barge in Inchon Harbor, Korea,
prior to Toledo's moving into position to support United
Nations ground forces, as they attempt to stop the enemy's spring
offensive, circa late April 1951.
The original photo is dated 14 April 1951, which is nearly two
weeks before Toledo arrived in the combat zone to begin
her second Korean War tour.
Men in center are carrying eight-inch powder cans, while those
at right have hand trucks to move the heavy main battery projectiles.
