Aerial view of the "mothball fleet" at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Bremerton, Washington (USA), in July 1974. Several larger warships are visible (from below): USS Missouri (BB-63), USS Saint Paul (CA-73), USS Hornet (CVS-12), USS Rochester (CA-124), USS Bennington (CVS-20), and USS New Jersey (BB-62). The carrier in background is (most probably) USS Bon Homme Richard (CVA-31). Original caption: Aerial view looking northeast across the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in downtown Bremerton, and up Rich Passage. Skyscrapers of Seattle are just visible in the upper right portion of the photo across puget sound. The battleship Missouri, a war memorial open to the public, is seen in the lower foreground. These communities will be affected by population growth when the proposed Trident submarine base is built nearby, 07/1974."
