Famous WW2 Quote
"Among the men who fought on Iwo Jima, uncommon valor was a common virtue."Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, 16 Mar 1945

The aircraft on the flight deck are predominately Grumman F8F Bearcats. Note also the temporary flying bridge extending part way across the flight deck with three officers standing on it; presumably this was needed to transit the canal so the harbor pilot could get a view down the centerline of the ship.
