There are two officers watching one officer paint the E. A couple of enlisted men also watch. The officers are wearing khaki uniforms with combination caps, and the enlisted men are wearing dungarees and enlisted white hats, also known as a Dixie cup. Some men can be seen on the flight deck in the background. The aircraft on the flight deck include S-2A Trackers and SH-3A Sea Kings.

Back of image has "CVS-11 4734(L) 7/62 // LCDR Slator, ENS Copp, // and Blum BT2 watch Lt. // Phillips complete Intrepid's "E" // official U.S. Navy photograph // not for publication // unless officially released" printed in black ink.

Donor note reads “Not sure but there is a mixup of the names I think, the guy under the LT’s arm is a BM2 Phillips maybe they both are named the same tho O-11 level the stack was my maintenance space.”
