"Schuylkill (AO-76)" under way off Hampton Roads, Virginia, 17 April 1943, following her conversion for naval service.
Note her non-standard rig, an attempt to camouflage her to resemble a cargo ship rather than a tanker also including the false
stack amidships. Her real stack (aft) is disguised as a cowl vent.
