This is a rare photo of a ship which never commissioned, Tinian (CVE-123).

Dated 21 February 1946, and credited to Todd Pacific Shipyards, Inc. (negative # 79-3), the back credit is "USN Official, Supervisor of Shipbuilding, U.S. Navy."

This is one of the few photos that could be taken of her underway (here she is steaming at 16 knots), since she went immediately into the Reserve Fleet where she stayed until stricken and scrapped.
