Title: USS Saipan (CVL-48)
Description: Underway at sea, with eight FH-1 Phantom jet fighters on her flight deck. The original print is dated June 1953, but the presence of FH-1s and the general rig of the ship indicate that the photograph was actually taken during the late 1940s. Official U.S. Navy Photograph, from the collections of the Naval History and Heritage Command.
