Aerial photograph of Pearl Harbor, Oahu, Hawaii, from 1,200 m altitude, looking southwestward, with the U.S. Fleet at moorings. It was taken on 3 May 1940, after the conclusion of the exercise "Fleet Problem XXI". This was four days before word was received that the Pacific Fleet was to be retained in Hawaiian waters. There are eight battleships and the carrier USS <i>Yorktown</i> (CV-5) tied up along the near side of Ford Island, in the center of the harbour. Two more battleships and many cruisers, destroyers and other ships also present.
