Believe me, that's a very long way down to the next deck should you fall off of an outrigger. I know because I was assigned (from the Design Division) to monitor their installation.
The 40 mm gun tubs the Bosuns' Mate is standing in front of were cut off flush to the top of the wood decking just the day before deployment. However, that does not look like Long Beach in the background. Therefore the photo was taken probably while she was still in Philadelphia. He only other stop on the West Coast was North Island in San Diego and that is definitely not San Diego in the background.Able to leap tall tales in a single groan.
