USS Galilea
(AKN-6)

At the Charleston Naval Shipyard, South Carolina, 17 February 1947.
The yard is preparing the ship for inactivation following cancellation of her conversion to a net cargo ship in December 1946. There is little evidence of the conversion in this photo; most of the alterations were at the stern or inside the ship.
