USS Quincy (CA-39)


View on board, looking aft on the port side from alongside eight-inch gun turret # 1, while the ship was at the New York Navy Yard on 29 May 1942.
Numbers in white circles mark recently installed items, including (# 1) splinter protection on the pilothouse; (# 2) 20mm guns just forward of the pilothouse (largely hidden behind the second 8" gun turret); and (# 3) 1.1" gun mountings on the upper bridge wings.
Other notable items include paravanes on the superstructure side just forward of the second 8" gun turret and the rangefinder "tub" atop the pilothouse.
Many of these features were still present when the ship's wreck was examined in August 1992.
