USS Atlanta - NY Navy Yard. We've had this picture in the family since the Atlanta was commissioned. It apparently was given to all "PLANK OWNERS", my father being one of them. Its in rough condition but I've never seen it published and doubt that many currently exsist.

USS Atlanta - This and the following picture were taken from the web site "Naval Historical Center home page". The USS Laffey, after rescuing survivors from the carrier Wasp, is transferring men to the heavy cruiser USS Salt Lake City at Espiritu Santo. While the USS Juneau also participated in this battle and rescued survivors of the Wasp, close examination of this picture and the camouflage pattern suggests that it is not the Juneau as described in the photo but could be the Atlanta. The Juneau was also at Espiritu Santo on September 16th but was underway again the following morning. See the War Diary of the USS Juneau on this web site. ..	USS Atlanta - The Juneau had a mottled camouflage pattern in the superstructure while the Hull was painted a disrupted pattern of White, Navy Blue and Ocean Grey. She received this pattern prior to leaving NY Harbor in June ans was wearing it when she was lost Nov 13th, 1942. The Atlanta had the same mottled pattern in her superstructure but her hull was solid navy blue when she was lost. Proir to this pattern the Atlanta had the pattern of the ship in this picture hence the confusion in identifying the ship . According to the Atlanta's ships log she could have been in Espiritu Santo on this day but it is incomplete as to exact dates. It is known that the San Juan was in Pearl Harbor at this time and i'm trying to ascertain the location of the San Diego. I will update this info after I finally determine the identity of the ship....
