USS Lexington (CVA-16)
Arriving in San Francisco Bay, California, circa early 1958,
after a four and one-half month overhaul at Puget Sound Naval
Shipyard, Bremerton, Washington.
The "Lady Lex" has the letters "USO" spelled
out on her flight deck by members of her crew, in observance
of the United Services Organization fundraising drive then being
conducted.
Note automobiles parked aft, and a wingless UF "Albatross"
behind the island.
The original print has the date 8 May 1958 stamped on its reverse.
Official U.S. Navy Photograph, from the collections of the
Naval Historical Center.
