USS New Orleans (CA-32) camouflaged at Tulagi, Solomon
Islands, some days after she was torpedoed during the Battle of Tassafaronga
on 30 November 1942. Note that her stern is riding high, and that her

This photo was taken after the bow was replaced in Bremerton,
Washington, and the Searchlight Platform between the stacks was modified
to install gun mounts, so it dates to after July 1943. Please compare
that photo with the photo 80-G-10115, taken on 8 July 1942. The Searchlight
Tower in changed, the Sky-forward deck and the bridge configuration was
changed, and a 20MM mount was placed on the bow ahead of Turret I. This
gun mount was the general quarters station for Henry Wenk, GM3 who was
lost at sea during the raid on Hollandia. A friendly aircraft took off
from one of the carriers, clipped the very top of the mast, crasher on
the forward end of the bow, and took Henry Wenk with it. He was Lost-at-Sea.
