U.S. Navy Sailors on Liberty in Rio de Janeiro, USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (CVB-42) Album, 'At Ease' (c. late 1940s)
Sailors from the aircraft carrier USS Franklin D. Roosevelt relax 'at ease' during a liberty call in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The city's iconic Sugarloaf Mountain rises in the distance beyond a tree-lined plaza, a scene typical of the goodwill port visits made by American naval vessels to South America in the years following World War II.
