USS V-4 (SM-1)


"Ready for commissioning at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, April 1928" (quoted from the original picture caption).
Though this view might show the ship when ready for commissioning (which took place on 2 April 1928), it is more probable that it shows V-4 immediately after she was launched, at the Portsmouth Navy Yard, on 10 November 1927.
