Philadelphia US Naval Reserve Fleet -1955
Vern can remember walking from the Main Gate, right, past the reserved fleet, especially the two white hospital ships.As you can see most of the ships were pretty good sized.  This a view looking west, at the top you can see the airport, prop driven airplanes, like constellations.  To the far left, south, right on the Delaware River is where the "Special K" was docked and commisioned.
