An Atlanta class CL. I have not a clue as to which ship.

It looks like one of the crew may have the swine flu or a Michael Jackson look alike contest is about to begin.

Does cordite or whatever the USN used, irritate the nasal cavities?

My first guess for the use of the masks would be falsh burn protection.

I think the 1.1's are quad 40mm's. Are those DC's along the rail?

According to one caption i found (while looking for something else) for this pic:

"Note flash-protection clothing worn by the men, 1.1" quadruple anti-aircraft machine gun mount in left center, 5"/38 guns beyond, and depth charges on "K-gun" throwers by the main deck edge."

I thought the 1.1" barrels were aligned vertically instead of horizontally.
