USS Detroit (CL-8)


At the Mare Island Navy Yard, California, 15 August 1942.
Note her after 6"/53 guns and men lounging on the fantail. Circles mark recent alterations to the ship.
Destroyers in the background include USS Preston (DD-379), at right, and USS Conyngham (DD-371), at left. On the far side of the pier from them are USS Caldwell (DD-605), in the far center distance beyond Preston's bow, and USS Walke (DD-416), at left beyond Conyngham.
YOS-1 is in the far right distance.
