"O" type submarines in drydock, circa 1919.
USS O-10 (Submarine # 71) is identifiable, flanked by two of her sisters.
The drydock is in the process of being filled.
USS Terry (Destroyer # 25) is outside the dock, in center. Traces of her World War I camouflage pattern remain on her middle smokestack, though her hull has been repainted and her number ("25") can be seen on her bow. Three other destroyers and the partially completed gunboat Asheville (Gunboat # 21) are also present.
Note details of the drydock caisson, and the crane on the pier in the distance.
