U.S. Navy Destroyers
Moored side-by-side after a day's maneuvers in Haitian Waters,
circa the later 1920s or the 1930s.
These ships are (from front to rear):
USS Kane (DD-235);
USS Hatfield (DD-231);
USS Brooks (DD-232); and
USS Lawrence (DD-250).
The first three destroyers carry 5"/51 guns mounted on their
sterns, while Lawrence has the normal 4"/50 gun mounted
atop her after deckhouse, with a 3"/23 anti-aircraft gun
on her stern.
Note bedding airing on the ships' lifelines.
