Summary

[edit]
Description
English: View of the flight deck of the U.S. Navy light aircraft carrier USS Cowpens (CVL-25), looking aft toward the carrier's island during raids on the Marshall Islands, November-December 1943. Note the crane and other features on and around the island. The radar antennas atop the foremast include SC (larger antenna, in front); SG (small antenna, in middle). A YE homing beacon antenna is mounted on the topmast. The large radar antenna behind the island is a SK-1.
Note: The part of the wing in the foreground is of a Douglas SBD dive bomber, also the right plane in the background. These were only part of the air group until mid-1943. Also, the national insignia is surrounded by a red line, which was only used in July-August 1943. Therefore the photo may have been taken while the carrier was working up in the Atlantic Ocean, in mid-1943.
