In the Bay of Biscay. Note the hard and feathered edges on the hull in particular, the feathered edges would be converted to hard edges later. Two quad 40mm Bofors mounts are visible with USS New Jersey in the background. The two ships are now turning to port. Note the crew in battle gear.
Main battery firing and judging by the gun elevation, the target is a relatively far distance.
An OS2U Kingfisher is launched off the starboard catapult while the port one is preparing to launch in the same direction. There is also a third on resting on a dolly on the deck. Note the many manned 20mm Oerlikons on the aft deck. A nice aerial view while underway. Note the OS2U Kingfishers are not on board.
