Description: Entering Pearl Harbor on the morning of 8 December 1941, the day after the Japanese raid. Note her crew standing by her lifelines. The ship is in Measure One (dark) camouflage, with a Measure Five false bow wave. In the background, beyond Northampton's after turret, is USS Argonne (AG-31), getting up steam. The ferry Nihoa (YFB-19) is visible just beyond Northampton's bow. Official U.S. Navy Photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives.
