Mines on an Omaha class (CL 4-13) light cruiser
Taken while the ship was underway at sea, looking aft, showing
the very wet conditions that were typical on these cruisers'
after decks when they were operating in a seaway.
Photographed circa 1923-1925, prior to the addition of a deckhouse
just forward of the ships' after twin six-inch gun mount.
Donation of Ronald W. Compton, from the collection of his grandfather,
Chief Machinist's Mate William C. Carlson, USN.
