USS Tarawa LHA-1 (1980’s)

Here is USS Tarawa LHA-1 back in the 1980’s with her 5in/54 guns still aboard. Here she is returning to San Diego, also note the upper section of her forward mast being raised. Lowered it allowed her to pass under the Coronado Bridge. #marineaviation #usstarawa #lha1 #aviationsafari #aviationpreservation #boneyardsafari #navycarriercentennial
