I dont know why, but that Spitfire picture looks phony. Looks CGA.

The USN had several floating dry docks that were deployed throughout the Pacific for forward repairs.

What are they doing, inventory or tossing them overboard?

If I remember correctly, they're replenishing their ammo, this I think, USS New Mexico BB-40....

To me it looks like a Spitfire from the game IL2 CLOD or IL2 Sturmovik 1946 imposed over a real background.

Definitely a CGI 'skin' over a modern-day American landscape - note the terrain and straight roads. No Spits currently flying in that colour scheme in Europe, or that Mark and colours in the USA, and quite obviously a 'Photoshop' or similar editing programme job.

Have to say they did a decent job of it

I admit my first thought was that they were removing the ammunition. The heavy guns look as if they have seen some serious use and she might be going for a refit.

Did a little deep digging and found this image is, in fact, CGI...an old CGI image but the guy's quality rivals that of Shinpachi's. The CGI artist is Polish, by the way.
The Rendering is of a Spitfire Mk II (serial P8528) PK-J belonging to Polish 315 Sqn RAF around July-August 1941.

I challange you Spitfire enthusiasts to put up a picture of every single Spitfire squadron from 1938 through 1946.
That should take up a couple months to do so.

Ok, Spitfires it is!! (hopefully these aren't supposed to be posted in chronological order!) 
Here's a Spitfire Mk IXC of 307th FS, 31st FG, 12th AF, Italy, 1944.
