Summary
| Description |
English: The U.S. Navy attack transport USS St. Mary's (APA-126) in San Francisco Bay, California (USA), in late 1945. She is returning troops from the Western Pacific to the United States as part of "Operation Magic Carpet". Note the long "homeward bound"-pennant trailing from her after mast, and the sign on shore (in the right distance) stating "Welcome Home, Well Done". Note: the photo was probably taken at the end of her first Magic Carpet run in October-November 1945, as she was towed back after engine trouble, 3-6 January 1946, at the end of her second run. |
