USS Antietam (CVS-36)


Operating at sea, circa 1955-57, with HSS-1 helicopters and S2F airplanes on her flight deck. Note that some of the helicopters are wearing the light grey color scheme introduced in 1955, while others are still painted midnight blue.
The original print is dated 31 January 1951, several years before this view was actually taken.
