Photo #: NH 43771
U.S. Navy Destroyer running trials, circa 1920
She is flying the New York Shipbuilding Corporation house flag
and carries four 5"/51 guns, a battery fitted to only a
few ships.
Based on comparison with other photographs, this destroyer is
probably either USS Gilmer (DD-233) or USS Kane
(DD-235).
