Lake 178k April, 1944 at Mare Island Navy Yard. The arrangement of the exhaust pipes inside her funnel betray her diesel power plant. Visible also is the passage from her open bridge to the sonar room located inside the forward end of the bridge structure. The range finder atop her bridge is for her 3" armament fire control and an empty Hedgehog launcher is located on the bow ahead of her forward 3" gun mount. Mike Green
