Three naval aviators pose beside their carrier's 'scoreboard,' a hand-painted record of enemy aircraft and ships credited to the squadrons embarked aboard USS Petrof Bay. Composite Squadrons VC-76 and VC-93, each flying a mix of fighters and bombers from the ship's short flight deck, tallied their combat successes here for all hands to see, a common practice aboard escort carriers that boosted morale and commemorated the unit's contribution to the Pacific war.
