USS Zebra (AKN-5) in San Francisco Bay, 28 August 1945, after an overhaul at Oakland between May and July. During this overhaul the ship was fully upgraded to the standards of the Indus (AKN-1) class. The horizontal stiffeners on the side may be an effort to strengthen the hull which was may have been weaken by the 1943 torpedo damage. Note in the second photo the Sea Mule on deck forward, as in the Indus (AKN-1) class and in the third photo the full armament of one 5"/38 and four 40mm twin mounts, all fitted during this overhaul.
