WW II - Two twin 40mm Bofors guns, practicing for battle. Per text printed on this photo's back, these guns are mounted on "one of America's newest aircraft carriers--a sleek, streamlined warship converted from a light cruiser.'" This Jun. 21, 1943 photo shows Bofors anti-aircraft guns practicing during the ship's shakedown cruise. This Official Navy photograph does not identify the ship or any of the crew.
