Deck crewmen aboard the escort carrier USS Petrof Bay (CVE-80) manually reposition a single-engine carrier aircraft across the flight deck, likely following a landing near the ship's arresting-wire area. Scenes like this were routine aboard 'jeep carriers' during World War II, where limited hangar space and tight deck schedules required sailors to physically push aircraft into position between launches and recoveries, all while off-duty crew looked on from the deck edge.
