U.S.S. Little Rock Ladies Auxiliary

While some consider it unlucky to have a woman aboard ship, the Little Rock Association feels just the opposite when it comes to having women as part of  our group. In fact, the ladies of the Association have their own group within the organization. Stay tuned for updates on how this spirited group augments and interacts with the Association.

Mystery Photo 16

What is this?

Most of us would recognize the 2nd ship from the left as the USS Little Rock (CL-92),
but what is that on her port side?


Can you: (1) Tell us where this is?

(2) When it was?

(3) What's that on the port
(left) side of the Little Rock
