Summary[edit]

Description
English: The U.S. Navy amphibious command ship USS Adirondack (AGC-15) in the James River Reserve Fleet, 27 May 1962. Visible to her starboard is the stern of USS Galilea (AKN-6), ex-Montauk (LSV-6), and the bow of (probably) the attack cargo ship USS Libra (AKA-12). The stern of Galilea shows the condition of the ship when her conversion from LSV to AKN was cancelled incomplete in December 1946. Libra and a few other early AKAs can be recognized by the heavy central kingposts added to the goalpost masts forward and aft of the bridge.
