Summary

Description

English: The U.S. Navy escort carrier USS Tinian (CVE-123) underway on 21 February 1946, while running trials. Laid up in reserve upon delivery in mid-1946, this ship had no commissioned service. This is one of the few photos that could be taken of her underway (here she is steaming at 16 knots), since she went immediately into the Reserve Fleet where she stayed until stricken and scrapped.
