A port quarter shot of a lazy but soon to be quite busy Gudgeon in the Pacific off San Francisco, July 7, 1941. The port side engine in the forward engine room is lit off and running. She would soon head off on an inspection tour of Alaskan and Aleutian Islands harbors to determine their suitability as bases. Proceeding to Hawaii in the fall, she would be at anchor of Lahaina, Maui on the morning of December 7, 1941.
