USS Cowpens (CVL-25), Philadelphia Naval Aircraft Factory
This aerial view of the Independence class light carrier USS Cowpens (CVL-25) was taken either near to, or by, the Naval Aircraft Factory at Philadelphia on 25 June 1943. The single aircraft on deck gives some idea of how narrow the flight deck was on these converted cruisers, as do the narrow gaps on either side of the lowered rear elevator.
