Title: USS Bremerton (CA-130) USS Los Angeles (CA-135)
Description: Photo #: NH 97453 USS Bremerton (CA-130) (foreground) and USS Los Angeles (CA-135) Are towed from the Nation's largest drydock, at San Francisco Naval Shipyard, while being prepared for inactivation and addition to the Pacific Reserve Fleet. Constructed during the war, the 1100-foot drydock is capable of handling the largest ships afloat. Besides handling these two cruisers at one time, the huge dock has accomodated four attack transports in one operation. World's largest crane at right. Quoted passage is from the original caption, released with this photograph under date of 13 February 1948. Note many other laid-up ships in the area. Among them, at right, are USS Rockwall (APA-230) and USS Bottineau (APA-235). Official U.S. Navy Photograph, from the collections of the Naval History and Heritage Command.
