Transferring Bomb from Oiler Atascosa
A 1000-lb bomb is transferred from Atascosa AO-66 to Enterprise CV-6, 4 September 1944. This transfer was performed as part of a successful experiment in transferring bombs from another ship while underway. As the ships sailed side-by-side at 12 knots, the bombs were transferred by Enterprise's flight deck crane, at a rate of one per minute.
