A close-up of the port side forward of the United States Navy store ship Altair (1944) AKS 32 under way in the Mediterranean during the 6th Fleet exercise Steel Link 1. The photographer is very close alongside the hull and may be on a hi-line transfer between the Altair (1944) and the attack transport Monrovia (1942) on which he had been a passenger. The view is from amidships looking forward.
