June 3, 1930: Puget Sound Navy Yard, Bremerton, Washington - Various structures emerge from the deck as the Louisville nears completion. The main mast rises in the foreground, straddling the aft fire control position. Further forward, up the wide stairs, four newly installed 5in. anti-aircraft guns sit under protective canvas on the lower gun deck. The upper gun deck over the hangar is awaiting the #2 funnel and the large aircraft crane. A huge tent of canvas covers the entire center of the ship as machinery and boiler spaces are finished underneath. The forward tripod mast (right) can really be appreciated here, as it soars better than 120ft. above the ship's keel.
