Navy panoramic photograph featuring a striking silhouette of the aircraft carrier USS Kearsarge (CVS-33) underway, captured in shimmering ocean light with an aircraft visible in the distance. Dated September 6, 1962, this image is especially significant as it was photographed by PHCS Robert A. Carlisle, former Director of Navy Photography at the Pentagon-not just from his estate, but his own work behind the lens. The composition is a clean, cinematic wide-format approx. 4×10 silhouette, showcasing the carrier’s full profile against reflective waters, a style highly sought after for both display and historical collections. Included with the photograph is the original detached Naval Photographic Center caption card, confirming. This pairing (photo + original caption card) adds strong authenticity and collector appeal. 4 x 10 inches (panoramic format). Format: Black & White photograph. Date: September 6, 1962. Photographer: PHCS Robert A. Includes: Original detached caption card. Markings: Naval Photographic Center stamp / release marking. Provenance: From the estate of PHCS Robert A. Carlisle, former Director of Navy Photography at the Pentagon. Caption card shows typical age toning. See photos for exact condition. Caption card will be packaged separately to prevent damage.
