    Note: In addition to the views referenced above, Photo # NH 43609, a view of destroyers fitting out afloat at the New York Shipbuilding Corporation shipyard at Camden, New Jersey, identifies one of the ships present as Barry (DD-248). However, the date given for the photograph (28 September 1920) is a month before Barry was launched, so this identification should be approached with caution.

    For other pictures related to this ship, see:

  • USS Barry (DD-248, later APD-29), 1920-1945.
