Christmas Dinner menu from USS Petrof Bay (CVE-80), dated December 25, 1944. Printed for the ship's crew during World War II Pacific operations, the menu features a traditional holiday meal of roast turkey, baked ham, and all the trimmings, signed by Commanding Officer Captain R. S. Clarke and Supply Officer Lieut. C. W. O'Toole. Such menus reflect the U.S. Navy's efforts to preserve morale and a sense of normalcy for sailors serving far from home during wartime.
