Title: USS Argonne
Description: (AG-31) At the Pearl Harbor Navy Yard on 11 August 1941 during a refit. The provisional anti-aircraft armament of 4 3/23 guns installed during this refit in the new gun tubs just aft of the stack was replaced in May 1942 by 4 3/50 AA guns. Note the two styles of life rafts (also added during this refit) and the cars in marked parking spaces on the pier. Four of these spaces (from right to left) are reserved for the Pacific Fleet Base Force's Medical Officer and Supply Officer, Argonne's Captain, and the Chief of Staff to Commander, Base Force.
