VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage-style illustration featuring two types of naval vessels, each labeled to identify its class or type. In the foreground, there's an image of a "CONVOY LAUNCH, " which appears to be a small, utilitarian craft likely used for transporting personnel, supplies, or performing other support roles within a larger fleet convoy. The vessel has a crane-like structure on it that suggests it might also serve in loading and unloading cargo. In the background, occupying the upper right quadrant of the image is what's labeled as a "POCKET CARRIER. " This term usually refers to smaller aircraft carriers that were designed with space and cost efficiency in mind. Despite their reduced size compared to full-sized fleet carriers, these ships would still be capable of launching and recovering aircraft. The style of the illustration suggests it may come from an older publication—perhaps mid-20th century—and gives an educational glimpse into naval terminology and ship design from that era. The use of cross-hatching for shading and detail indicates this could have been printed in newspapers or books when such illustrations were common due to printing technology limitations at the time.
