Description:
Black & white print of a photograph showing LST-519 (U.S.S. Calhoun County) sailing in an unknown location. The ship appears to be carrying no cargo on the main deck, though both davits are loaded with an LCVP (starboard) and another boat (port). A group of sailors in dungarees and blues can be seen standing along the rail of the main deck. An aircraft carrier can also be seen in the background on the far right side of the photograph. The ship's number is stamped in gold lettering at the bottom and a copyright mark for "O.N.I." (Our Navy, Inc.) is printed in the bottom right corner.
