Photo #: NH 41637
USS Saturn (1898-1922, later AG-4)
Unloading material in a Far East port, circa 1918-1919.
Between late 1918 and mid-1919 Saturn made a voyage to
Vladivostok, Russia, carrying coal, supplies, and a team that
built a naval radio station there. This photo may have been taken
during one of her brief stops in Japan in December 1918 or June
1919. The gun on the right is one of the two 3"/50 weapons
fitted forward of the bridge during World War I; she also received
a 6"/50 gun aft.
