I read of this picture:
The U.S. Navy escort carrier USS Santee (ACV-29), probably
taken on 16 October 1942. Santee was the only one in her class
ever camouflaged in Measure 17.
Hmm, from wiki
"After conversion, nominally completed on 8 September, Santee
reported to Task Force 22 (TF 22) and the first plane landed on
her flight deck on 24 September.
After shakedown, Santee departed Bermuda on 25 October and
headed for the coast of Africa."
So it seems, as pictured she was on her way to launch planes in
support of Operation Torch.
Her deck looks quite full.
