From Scott Nelson:

I have come across a photo my grandfather took of Crane Army 4063, which would become Alaska Crane LC-24. I believe the photo was taken in Bremerton, WA, on the naval base right after World War II.

My grandfather's name was Ronald Roy, and he was a sailor, and the only thing that makes sense, is that he took port in Bremerton.
