Cool picture. I did not know the Bunker Hill was around that long or kept in San Diego. Also an interesting modernization, looks like there is possibly an angled flight deck and the 5 inch gun mounts are still in place.

Stricken from the Naval Vessel Register in November 1966, Bunker Hill was used as a stationary electronics test platform at San Diego during the 1960s and early 1970s. She was sold for scrapping in May 1973.
