Grumman F6F Hellcat fighters prepare to take off for strikes against targets in Manila Bay. The two leading planes are F6F-5N night fighters, with wing-mounted radar. Probably 1945.

I think there might be an additional letter in front of YB that we can't see. Since the photo was taken in post-war Japan, and the boat is named Leyte I'm thinking it might be linked to General MacArthur in some way...

John Wayne's boat was the Wild Goose, and before being converted to a yacht was YMS-328, Yard Mine Sweeper.

Yes, you are right! It was MacArthur's personal yacht moored in Yokohama. My sister and I are the two kids in that photo (taken by my dad, MAJ C.C. Albaugh). We went for a ride around Tokyo Bay on the yacht....but what happened to it the following week? .................the tension mounts.
