DescriptionPhotograph, Black and white; Vertical modern reproduction image of a basketball game in the hangar deck of USS Intrepid. One man, in the center of the image beneath the basketball hoop, is mid-jump reaching up for the basketball in the air above him. He is wearing a soiled white tank top and shorts. Two shirtless men with shorts are on either side of him, staring up toward the ball. All the players have a sheen of sweat on their skin. They appear to have light skin and medium or dark hair. Seated and standing spectators watch from the background. Behind the spectators is a large opening through which the sky and ocean are visible.
