The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: WWII PACIFIC NAVY
Sailors' snapshots from the Pacific theater show gun crews at their Oerlikon mounts, supply vessels dressed with signal flags at jungle piers, and outrigger canoes glimpsed from passing decks. Away from the front lines, these candid images preserve the logistics work and everyday human rhythms that sustained the naval war.
