USS Valley Forge (CV-45)
Crewmen line the carrier's decks to watch Hawaiian hula dancers welcome their ship to Pearl Harbor, 8 April 1950.
Valley Forge brought fighter, bomber and transport planes to replace Hawaii-based aircraft that she was to ferry back to the mainland for overhaul. She was scheduled to sail for San Francisco on 11 April.
