USN:
Essex-class aircraft carriers USS Hancock (CVA-19), USS Oriskany (CVA-34), and USS Bennington (CVA-20) in the San Francisco Naval Shipyard, 3 October 1957
Oriskany is in drydock in the middle of her SCB-125A modernization, which took place from 1 October 1956 to 29 May 1959. She was the last of her class to gain her angled deck, steam catapults, and hurricane bow and would have an exceptionally long life - the last Essex to operate as a combat carrier.
