Camouflage Measure 33, Design 2F (Starboard)
Drawing prepared by the Bureau of Ships for a camouflage scheme
intended for light cruisers of the CL-4 (Omaha) class. This
plan, approved by Captain Torvald A. Solberg, USN, is dated 3
June 1944. It shows the ship's port side. Concord
(CL 10) and USS
Trenton (CL 11) were painted in this scheme,
though the colors used for the latter appear to have been the
darker tones of Measure 32.

The original caption for this photo was "A crane is removing a
twin 6-inch gun turret of the ex-Concord (CL 10) on
11 January 1946. This gun mount is credited with the firing of
the last salvo in WW2 against the Japanese. The ship, on 15
August 1945, was part of Task Force 92 and was bombarding
shipping and shore targets on the Japanese Kuril Islands. The
previous shot had misfired just before the cease fire was
announced, but the ship received special permission to fire one
more shot, rather than manually unloading the gun." but this
appears to be incorrect. It appears that the turret in the air
has been lifted from the Omaha Class cruiser outboard of the Concord.
Note the person with the tagline attached to the gun barrel.
This is being used to control the swing of the turret as it is
lifted aross the Concord. The aft turret would
not have been lifted the length of the ship to it's current
position in the photo.
