Description: The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (CVA-42) and the stores ship USS Rigel (AF-58) underway at sea, circa in 1968. Note the Boeing-Vertol UH-46A Sea Knight helicopter in the foreground. The photo was taken from the general stores issue ship USS Altair (AKS-32). Note: the date given "1969" has to be incorrect, as Franklin D. Roosevelt was at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Virginia (USA), from December 1968 to June 1969, whereas Altair was decommissioned on 2 May 1969.
