The escort carrier USS Petrof Bay (CVE-80) rides at anchor in a Pacific harbor, her hull painted in a bold dazzle camouflage scheme designed to disrupt enemy range-finding. A Casablanca-class 'jeep carrier,' Petrof Bay provided close air support during major Pacific campaigns of World War II, including the Battle of Leyte Gulf, operating alongside larger fleet carriers to protect amphibious landing forces.
