Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The U.S. Navy destroyer USS Stephen Potter (DD-538) underway in the central Pacific on 2 May 1944, while participating in raids on Japanese bases. Other warships are in the distance, among them an Iowa-class battleship and the aircraft carrier USS Bunker Hill (CV-17), identifiable by her Camouflage Measure 32, Design 6A. Bunker Hill was assigned to Task Group 58.2 and participated in air raids on Truk, Satawan, and Ponape in the Caroline Islands between 29 April and 1 May 1944. The battleship is probably USS Iowa (BB-61), as USS New Jersey (BB-62) was assigned to TG 58.1 at that time. The heavy cruiser in the left backgound is USS Wichita (CA-45). |
