USS Burns (DM-11, formerly DD-171)
Underway in Hawaiian waters, circa 1922-1924, when she was commanded
by Lieutenant Commander Olaf M. Hustvedt. She is probably taking
part in gunnery practice, as her four-inch guns are manned and
trained out.
Burns is wearing her destroyer bow number ("171")
with the Mine Force insignia.
