Summary

[edit]
Description

Aerial view or the U.S. Navy Olongapo Naval Station, Subic Bay, Philippines, on 27 October 1941. The old armoured cruiser USS Rochester (CA-2) is alongside the dock, with several Consolidated PBY patrol planes on the adjacent seaplane apron.
Rochester (ex-New York (ACR-2), ex-Saratoga) had been decommissioned on 29 April 1933. She remained moored at the Olongapo shipyard for the next eight years. Her name was struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 28 October 1938, and she was scuttled on 24 December 1941 to prevent her capture by the Japanese.

Note the strange arrow above Rochester (it does not point north).
