Camouflage Measure 33, Design 2F (Starboard) Drawing prepared by the Bureau of Ships for a camouflage scheme intended for light cruisers of the CL-4 (Omaha) class. This plan, approved by Captain Torvald A. Solberg, USN, is dated 3 June 1944. It shows the ship's port side. USS Concord (CL 10) and USS Trenton (CL 11) were painted in this scheme, though the colors used for the latter appear to have been the darker tones of Measure 32. Official U.S. Navy Photograph #80-G-172992, now in the collections of the National Archives. |

The original caption for this photo was "A crane is removing a twin 6-inch gun turret of the ex-USS Concord (CL 10) on 11 January 1946. This gun mount is credited with the firing of the last salvo in WW2 against the Japanese. The ship, on 15 August 1945, was part of Task Force 92 and was bombarding shipping and shore targets on the Japanese Kuril Islands. The previous shot had misfired just before the cease fire was announced, but the ship received special permission to fire one more shot, rather than manually unloading the gun." but this appears to be incorrect. It appears that the turret in the air has been lifted from the Omaha Class cruiser outboard of the Concord. Note the person with the tagline attached to the gun barrel. This is being used to control the swing of the turret as it is lifted aross the Concord. The aft turret would not have been lifted the length of the ship to it's current position in the photo.
