A close view of the starboard side aft of the U.S. Navy attack transport Monrovia (1942) APA 31 under way in the Mediterranean during the 6th Fleet exercise Steel Link 1. The photographer is being transferred by hi-line to the dock landing ship Donner (1945) LSD 20 from the Monrovia (1942) and is looking aft and to port while suspended between the two ships. The Monrovia's LCMs PA31-15 and PA31-8 are swung out under their davits. Everything forward of the midship davits is out of the picture.
