Photo #: NH 75515 USS Winfield S. Cahill (SP-493) At the Norfolk Navy Yard, Virginia on 18 August 1917. Her camouflage appears to be a form of the Mackay Low Visibility type. A similar ship is immediately behind her, also painted in this camouflage scheme. By a July 1917 Navy General Order, this former civilian fishing vessel's name was ordered shortened to Cahill. However, her longer name often continued in use. U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command Photograph. Online Image: 93 KB; 900 x 660 pixels |
