This administrative caption card accompanied an official U.S. Navy photograph taken aboard or of USS Petrof Bay (CVE-80), a Casablanca-class escort carrier, dated September 9, 1945 - just one week after the formal Japanese surrender. Prepared for the ship's Air Department and stamped 'Restricted' under Bureau of Aeronautics authority, the card illustrates the meticulous documentation and distribution controls the Navy placed on official wartime photography.
