Summary

[edit]
Description The U.S. Navy light aircraft carrier USS Langley purportedly rolling heavily during the typhoon "Connie" in June 1945. According to the ship's War History the ship was in San Francisco for overhaul from 3 June to 2 August 1945, not off Japan where Typhoon Connie struck, thus this photo was taken at some other point.
