This is the third of three sets of photographs of the USS Calvert, taken by the U.S. Navy during World War II. I was informed of the existence of these photographs by Dennis Worthington, son of the late Hoyt Worthington who served aboard the Calvert during WWII.

The original photographs are available at the Maritime Administration’s (MARAD) website, here (click on the “images” tab)

This third set shows the Calvert in August 1945 at Bremerton, WA, following conversion to a Relief ACG, Amphibious Force Flagship, in preparation for her expected participation in the Invasion of Japan (which was not necessary as a result of Japan’s surrender in early September).

Click on each image to open a new page showing the full large-size image, and an excellent view of the details of the ship’s form and mechanicals at this time. There are also several images showing details of the Calvert’s upgraded Combat Information Center (CIC) equipment.
