Could be Cavite/Canacao Bay/Sangley Point. Ship looks like a salvage/repair auxiliary.

Bingo.

However, ship is not a salvage/repair aux. It is something else.....

[LargeSlowTarget]

A collier then?

Bingo.

USS Jason, Collier #12, later AC-12 then AV-2

[Pascal_slith]

Aircraft is a Vought O2U Corsair

[Pascal_slith]

OK. Which ship is this?

[LargeSlowTarget]

Stupid me, I had thought about a collier first, but then got doubts that the USN still had coal-fired ships at that time.

The other ship is a RN County class heavy cruiser. EDIT: Early pic, later had tripod masts. Either Norfolk, Sussex, Devonshire, Dorsetshire or Shropshire.

Close enough. The HMAS Australia off Guadalcanal...

[LargeSlowTarget]

D'oh, haven't thought about Australia ands Canberra. I ruled out Suffolk and Cumberland - different bridge structure. But I've always been confused about the different sub-groups of the Counties since I've found conflicting data in several sources. Any reliable web site you can recommend?

TY. Not exactly what I've been looking for but very interesting nonetheless.

Bugger me![X(] All that ice will do would nothing for the ships seakeeping ability ! Time to swing some axes and pipe the steam !

[Nikademus]

thats not ice.

Man that must have been one big Twinkee [X(]

[Pascal_slith]

It's HMS Leamington (a US four-stacker given to the RN) back from the North Atlantic....

[Pascal_slith]

Here's an easy one. What are they?

[Subchaser]

Grumman F3Fs, last biplane fighter of US Navy
