Description
English: The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Bunker Hill (CV-17) at sea in 1945.

Note: The original photograph is dated 16 October 1945. Bunker Hill was still under repair at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Bremerton, Washington (USA), from kamikaze damage received on 11 May 1945 when the war ended in mid-August.

On 27 September 1945, she sailed from Bremerton to report for duty with the Operation Magic Carpet fleet, being equipped to transport troops to return veterans from the Pacific as a unit of TG 16.12. The vessel made return trips to the U.S. West Coast from Pearl Harbor, the Philippines, and Guam and Saipan. In January 1946 the ship was ordered to Bremerton for deactivation, and was decommissioned into reserve on 9 January 1947.
