USS America (CVA-66) moored alongside USS Boxer (LPH-4) in Norfolk, October 1969
Boxer is a converted Essex Class CV. Interesting comparison between war and post war CV.
Long Branch Brens
Probably Brens in 7.92mm for the KMT government of China, which were left in limbo when the KMT started to go down to defeat. There's no reason why so many Brens would be sitting around waiting to ship in .303. We still have lots of Hi-Powers made for them sitting in war reserves, new in the grease.
