FREE: GREAT OLD Fotos of WWII Navy Ship

The listing, GREAT OLD Fotos of WWII Navy Ship has ended.

This is a great find for a collector. The photos are actual pics not reprints or out of a magizine.

Frames are a little wabbly but still intacted.
The back of one has a description of the ship with a date and signature of maybe an old CO or crew member don't really know. I was collecting old Navy ships for a while and this was one i had left.
