Photographed from the deck of the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown (CV-10), this image captures the stores ship USS Zelima (AF-49) on the horizon amid what appear to be anti-aircraft gun bursts in the sky above her. Ships such as Zelima kept fast carrier task forces supplied at sea during extended Pacific operations, and moments like this, whether a genuine air-raid alert or gunnery drill, illustrate the ever-present danger that shadowed even routine underway replenishment during World War II.
