Title: USS Manchester (CL-83)
Description: Replenishing ammunition while alongside USS Mount Katmai (AE-16) in Wonsan harbor, North Korea, within sight of enemy gun batteries, circa early 1951. Note projectiles on deck on both ships, powder tanks stacked on Mount Katmai, and wooden planks laid on Mount Katmai's decks. It appears that projectiles are being brought on board Manchester, while empty powder tanks are being carried off of her. Projectiles are being hoisted into Manchester's turret number two (in lower left). Photo was received by the Naval Photographic Center on 3 May 1951. Official U.S. Navy Photograph, from the collections of the Naval History and Heritage Command.
