Lead ship of the so-called Long-Hull Essex carriers. The "Long-Hull" was an extra 16 feet added to the bow for forward anti-aircraft guns, which can be seen well here. It was ironic, then, that two months after this photo was taken, right after Ticonderoga’s shake-down cruise, her flight deck was lengthened by 11 feet forward (and 7 feet aft) to all but cover the new gun mounts.
Also note the positions of the three aircraft elevators: No.1 barely visible on the forward flight deck (shadow of 2nd radio antenna points to it), No.2 amidships on the portside edge of the flight deck stowed in its upright position (a feature included specifically so the carriers would fit through the locks of the Panama Canal), and No.3 on the after flight deck. The No.3 elevator would be relocated to the starboard deck edge in 1952.
