Summary

Description The U.S. Navy floating drydock YFD-2 arrives at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii (USA), 23 August 1940, after being towed from New Orleans, Louisiana (USA). It is still marked "U.S. Naval Station New Orleans, La". The tug USS Osceola (YT-129) is in the right foreground. One of the other tugs is probably the USS Sunnadin (AT-28). An unidentified destroyer seaplane tender (AVD) is tied up at the Ford Island fuel dock (left center). Visible in the distance, moored on the other side of Ford Island, are (from left to right): the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown (CV-5) (see large "Y"), two destroyers, the seaplane tender USS Wright (AV-1) and two Omaha-class light cruisers. The destroyer USS Shaw (DD-373) was sunk with YFD-2 on 7 December 1941 at Pearl Harbor.
