USS Petrof Bay (CVE-80), a Casablanca-class escort carrier, lies at anchor in a sheltered Pacific harbor during World War II. Her hull is painted in a disruptive dazzle camouflage scheme designed to confuse enemy range-finding and torpedo attacks. Escort carriers like Petrof Bay provided close air support for amphibious landings and anti-submarine patrols throughout the Pacific campaign, operating from forward anchorages near the front lines.
