Nice view of Fort Mason. Oh, the heavy cruiser looks good, too! This picture depicts the San Francisco's return from the war, I take it?

thats her retirn form the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal.

The old girl took a real beating---nearly 50 large and medium claber hits in a reall barroom brawl of a battle.


Most of the ship's senior officers (including the CO, CAPT Cassin Young and her embarked flag officer, Admiral Daniel Callaghan) were killed---and she was brought home by a Lieutenant Commander.

Like her sucessor, brilliant damage control and hard work saved the day.

Make that Ft Point, under the south tower of the Golden Gate Bridge. Ft Mason is a couple of miles East, just before one gets to fisherman's wharf.

Can't speak to whether or not that's the cruiser San Francisco, but the looks of her seem appropriate.
