There also appears to be a screen and a projector set up on the main deck of the ship, possibly for training or entertainment purposes. No information is provided on where the photograph was taken, but context suggests it was most likely taken at the Naval Amphibious Base, Little Creek in Virginia.

A caption written in pen on the upper right corner of the back reads "LST 980 1946" while a watermark near the center of the back indicates the print was made by Walmart on 8/20/2014.
