View of a gunnery drill aboard the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS <i>Leyte</i> (CVS-32), in the 1950s. Note that <i>Leyte</i> kept her 40mm guns until being decommissioned in 1959. The 40mm mount closer to the camera is equipped with an SPG-34 fire control radar.<br>
The Grumman S2F-1 <i>Tracker</i>s in the background appear to be from Anti-Submarine Squadron 39 (VS-39) "Hoot Owls" (tail code "SN").
