Photo #: NH 98679

USS Oklahoma City (CLG-5)


View from the ship's foredeck, looking aft at her gun battery and forward superstructure, with anchor chains in the foreground.
Photograph was received in August 1972. It was probably taken during naval gunfire support operations off Vietnam earlier that year, as the paint on the ship's 6"/47 gun barrels appears to be charred and blistered from the heat of firing.

Official U.S. Navy Photograph, from the collections of the Naval Historical Center.
