Three views of soon-to-be HMS Tracker during trials in the Columbia river conducted by her builders, Willamette Iron & Steel Corporation, Portland, Oregon, before being accepted by the Admiralty on January 31, 1943.

HMS Tracker probably photographed off Orchard Point, Washington, 8 March 1943. Photograph taken by Naval Air Station, Seattle, Washington. Note the ship's British-style pattern camouflage and the British radar antenna in the middle of her island.

Official U.S. Navy Photograph, from the collections of the Naval History and Heritage Command (# NH 97123).

Note: This photograph's original World War II-era caption identifies the ship seen as USS Barnes (ACV-20), which is incorrect. A number of visible details prove that the ship is definitely British. (The mistake was noticed in the first place by NavSource.)

Undated photo of a Fairey Swordfish, its arrester hook trailing, [as it comes to land] on board the escort carrier HMS Tracker. The batsman is giving the "steady" signal; in seconds, this will be changed to "cut," indicating to the pilot that he should switch off his engine, whereupon the pilot will drop the last few feet under forward momentum (and gravity) only. A second aircraft is following, its pilot hoping fervently that his predecessor will have an incident-free touch-down. [L]ocation unknown. Photo Imperial War Museum.

Fire aboard HMS Tracker (D24), ex-BACV-6, ex-Mormacmail, after one of her Avengers crashed on landing in April 1944. The work of the fire teams has added urgency as they struggle to stop flames reaching the ready-use ammunition locker for the aft AA armament just below the flight deck. Imperial War Museum.
