USS Salt Lake City (CA-25) near Mare Island Naval Shipyard on June 21, 1944. She is painted in Measure 32/14D.

Note: turret No. 1 has two cannons and No. 2 has three. This is due to the narrow hull of the Pensacola class and along with heavy tripods, caused excessive rolling. Leading to her nickname "Swayback Maru" or "Old Swayback".

She received 11 battle stars for her service in World War II.

..... sad, most feared Japanese weapon for most American and Allied servicemen.
The lesson has been well learned since then.
