This painting depicts crewmembers relaxing in the berthing compartment aboard the USS Yorktown “after mail call” on the eve of battle. The ship was then operating in tropical waters and the men are therefore wearing as little as possible to battle the heat. News from home is a very big thing, and they are read and reread until the paper is nearly worn out. The photo reference for this painting was taken by Lt. Charles E. Curlee, one of a team of the most prolific Navy World War II photographers.
