Amphibious Attack Transports - Photos...
USS Neville APA-9
Convoy out of Brooklyn, New York, February 1942. Neville (AP-16) is in the foreground. Other ships present include at least six other transports, a light cruiser and a battleship. This is probably the convoy that left the east coast on 19 February 1942, bound across the Atlantic to Belfast, Northern Ireland. Photographed from a Naval Air Station Lakehurst, New Jersey, blimp. Note the extensive use of Measure 12 (Modified) camouflage on these ships.
