Unusual picture of USS Nehanta Bay. This must have been in ferry duty. I can make out a PBY, a Gruman Albatross, F4F Wildcat, an Avenger and a DC-3 with no tail.

And definitely a Martin B-26 at the extreme aft end. No other aircraft had a tail like that. The Navy did have a few, used for target tows, that were painted yellow. Could be one of those judging by the light color in the photo.
