Sailors at the Plotting Table in the Combat Information Center, USS Petrof Bay (CVE-80), WWII
Crewmen of the escort carrier USS Petrof Bay (CVE-80) man the ship's Combat Information Center during World War II. Wearing sound-powered telephone headsets, they gather around the plotting table's dead-reckoning tracer to track the ship's position and coordinate operations - a vital nerve center for coordinating navigation, flight operations, and combat information aboard a Pacific Fleet escort carrier.
