USS Burns (DM-11, formerly DD-171)
Admiral Robert E. Coontz, Commander-in-Chief, U.S. Fleet, receives
honors as he comes aboard the ship, circa 1923-1924. Location
is probably Honolulu, Hawaii.
Burns was then commanded by Lieutenant Commander Olaf
M. Hustvedt, USN.
Note the mine tracks on the ship's main deck (at left), the life
raft alongside her Number Three Smokestack, the whaleboat hung
from her davits, and the structure supporting her starboard midships
four-inch gun.
