U.S. Navy Submarine Chasers
In an Azores harbor with other ships of the U.S. and foreign
navies, circa October 1918.
The six subchasers in the left center of the view, with bows
to the camera, are (from left to right): SC-223, SC-330,
SC-180, SC-353, SC-331 and (probably) SC-356.
Ships nested with them, to the right, include a "bird"
type minesweeper and two converted yacht patrol vessels. The
four sailing ship masts to the extreme right probably belong
to the French Quevilly, which was serving as station tanker
in the Azores.
Collection of George K. Beach, who was a crewmember of USS SC-331
at the time.
