Summary
| Description |
English: The U.S. Navy ammunition ship USS Sangay (AE-10) underway off the Virginia Capes, 3 May 1943, at the beginning of her first voyage as a mine and ammunition transport, photographed by a blimp based at Weeksville, North Carolina (USA). An estimated 500 Mk.6 moored contact mines are included in the cargo, even though all the deck mine rail space is not occupied. The antenna for the SU surface search radar is installed at the forward edge of the funnel. Sangay was specifically configured to carry mines. |
