This typewritten page from an official ship's history documents the early operational life of a U.S. Navy escort carrier in 1944, including yard availability at Terminal Island, San Pedro, the organization of its aircraft maintenance divisions, and shakedown air operations with Composite Squadron Seventy-Six out of San Diego. Administrative records like this one, though rarely dramatic, provide the essential documentary backbone for understanding how U.S. Navy carriers were prepared, crewed, and readied for combat deployment during World War II.
