USS Pittsburgh (CA-72)
Crewmen slip anchor stoppers in preparation for anchoring. On
the order "let go", the anchor detail will knock out
the single remaining stopper with a sledge hammer, starting the
anchor on its way.
Pittsburgh is at the Puget Sound Navy Yard, Bremerton,
Washington, during her initial post-reactivation trials, circa
September 1951. She was recommissioned on 25 September.
