Summary edit

Description Vertical aerial photograph of Ford Island, taken 22 October 1941. The aircraft carrier USS Saratoga (CV-3) is moored in the lower right center, on Ford Island's northwestern side. Three battleships and an oiler are moored along Battleship Row, on the island's southeastern side. Another battleship is alongside 1010 dock, in the top center. The battleships appear to be as two each of the Tennessee and Colorado-classes. In the extreme top right corner is the Navy Yard's Drydock Number Two, under construction, and the floating drydock YFD-2. Approximately 22 Consolidated PBY patrol planes are parked at the Naval Air Station's seaplane base, on the upper right point of Ford Island.
