USS Cabot (CVL-28) Open Bridge

USS Cabot's open bridge. Gene Masucci was on the bridge of Cabot when both kamikazes hit on November 25, 1944.

Note mural of a Native American dancing on a Japanese flag with two wrecked Japanese airplanes in his hands. Such murals were common in the Third Fleet. One of Cabot's sister ships had a mural of a well-endowed bull.

The open bridge could be very difficult to operate during inclement weather. After the war it was replaced with a closed bridge. This bridge, which was present throughout Cabot's service with the Spanish Navy (renamed
Dedalo) is preserved at the Texas Air Museum. Click on the image to enlarge.
