Standing before a portrait of Adm. Chester W. Nimitz are, left to right, Rear Adm. Bertram Rodgers, Mrs. Nimitz, Adm. Nimitz and Mrs. Rodgers. The scene in the portrait shows the admiral standing aboard the flagship Missouri in Tokyo Bay at the signing of the truce ending World War II. At the right of the portrait can be seen Gen.
