Poor imagery of this SS precludes a more detailed description.
3. "W/R" Class SS (visible waterline length approx 245') moored alongside
SS indicated by annotation 2.above.
This SS has a deck painted in a darker color than the hull. The
adjacent SS (annotation 2 above) as well as the other SS alongside the
quay (annotation 1 above) appear to have been completely painted in a
dark color.
4. Unidentified yard craft (LOA approx 130').
5. "T-43" Class MSF/Auxiliary (LOA approx 190').
This vessel does not appear to have a forward gun mount. It is not
apparent on this imagery if the after gun mount has been removed.
