This photograph was originally released by Commander Naval Forces Far East on 27 January 1952 with the following caption:
"'The Mighty A' -- Having completed three months of combat operations with fast carrier Task Force 77 in Korean Waters, the 27,000 ton Essex class aircraft carrier USS Antietam arrives in Yokosuka, Japan, for a well earned rest and recreation for her crew of officers and men. Japanese shipyard workers crowd available spaces to watch the flat-top being pushed into docking position by yard tugs."
"Commanding the USS Antietam is Captain George J. Dufek, USN, ... a veteran of polar expeditions with Admiral Byrd."
