Gallery: Part 2
More scenes from USS Petrof Bay (CVE-80) balance duty and downtime, from a Wildcat launching off the flight deck and a convoy strung across the horizon to sailors clowning in grass skirts during a Hawaiian port call. A shore encounter with a Pacific Islander elder and a postwar view of the carrier at anchor trace the ship's service to its quiet end.
