USS Miami (CL-89) Photograph taken circa early 1944, showing
the ship painted in camouflage Measure 32, Design 1d. This image was
retouched for World War II public release purposes. However, note that
while the censor removed the entire forward main battery gun director,
the after director and its radar antenna remain completely visible.
Radar antennas atop the secondary battery gun directors and the masts
have also been removed, and the ship's hull number, near her bow, has
been circled.
