Part of the floorspace in the West Wing of the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola is given over to a representation of the deck of the Independence-class carrier USS Cabot (CVL-28). it is a fabulous museum and well worth the long journey for me to visit!

This Duck served previously with the US Coast Guard as 33587. After being SOC in 1946 she passed through a series of ciivilian owners and appeared in various films, including 'Murphy's War', before retiring to the National Museum of the USAF where she is on display as a circa late-1940s USAF rescue OA-12 48-563. Ex N67790.

This Duck was TOC by the USN with BuNo 33594. Now restored in this USMC scheme it is on display at Planes of Fame at Chino.

This Duck was accepted into the Navy in 1945 and served on the US East coast until being withdrawn in 1948. She spent time on display at the Museum Corps Museum in Quantico before being transported to Pensacola and, following a period of restoration, going on display at the National Naval Aviation Museum in 1974.
