Holy smokes, that's a big bird to bring aboard

The seaplane tender USS Currituck (AV-7) hoists a Martin P5M-2 Marlin aboard following a reconnaissance flight in 1962.

The photo was taken while Currituck was operating in the vicinith of Kodiak, Alaska in 1962. Currituck supported P5M flying boats as they carried out reconnaissance flights along the Western Pacific, observing the coasts of Russia, Korea, China, and Vietnam.

During this deployment, Currituck would also visit the city of Anchorage, Alaska. At almost 15,000 tons, Currituck would be the largest warship to visit Anchorage up until that point.

An overhead photo of the Royal Navy dock landing ship HMS Oceanway (F143) in April of 1944.

HMS Oceanway was one of four Casa Grande class dock landing ships built in the United States for the Royal Navy during World War 2. The ships were built based on British requirements and seven of the class were originally ordered. However, the United States found the design valuable and after transferring the four initial ships to the Royal Navy, decided to retain the last three ships for its own use. These were to be followed by an additional twelve ships, though only ten were completed by the end of the Second World War.

The photo highlights the large size of the well deck. The well deck extended for 337' 11" (103m) of the ships total length of 454' (138m) and was 43' 8" (13.3m) wide. This large size enabled each dock landing ship to carry a variety of cargo including over a dozen LCMs (Landing Craft, Mechanized) or up to three Mark 5 Tank Landing Craft.

HMS Oceanway used her well deck to great effect during the D-Day landings. She carried twenty landing craft to Omaha beach during the invasion.
