Battle Fleet maneuvers off California, November 1926


Twelve Navy torpedo planes (probably SC-1 or CS-1 types) fly in formation over USS Marcus (DD-321) during the maneuvers.
"Over 100 Naval planes vied with 60 surface craft for tactical advantage in a war game which displayed every angle of Naval action except gun fire." (quoted from the original photo caption).
Admiral Richard H. Jackson was Commander-in-Chief at the time of these maneuvers.
