Postcard shows USS Houston in Gatun Locks, Panama Canal. The Houston sank Feb, 28, 1942 after Battle of Java Sea. This card goes with several others I have and although it's not dated itself, some are dated 1941 so I assume that's when this photo was taken. It's strange seeing the sailors on deck since this ship was sunk a year later.
