Summary
| Description | Aerial photograph showing the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Oriskany (CV-34) on the day of her last return from a deployment on 3 March 1976 (probably at Naval Air Station Alameda, California). Oriskany had been deployed to the Western Pacific with Carrier Air Wing 19 (CVW-19) from 16 September 1975 to 3 March 1976. She was decommissioned as the last active Essex-class carrier on 20 September 1976. Note that among the aircaft on her deck are two McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom and a Grumman A-6 Intruder, aircraft that were actually never deployed on any Essex-class carrier. |
