Original caption reads: "USS Shaw - Hit by three bombs which exploded her forward magazine, the 1,500 ton destroyer Shaw lies a twisted mass of wreckage in the heavily-bombed floating drydock YFD-2. Note the bow of the Shaw lying on its side in the foreground. Park of the drydock, at right, is under water while the other side is listing heavily. Both the Shaw and the drydock are now back in use." Archivist note: USS Shaw, DD-373, was a Mahan-class destroyer.
