Fore River Shipbuilding Company shipyard, Quincy, Massachusetts
Destroyers fitting out on 20 June 1918.
USS Murray (Destroyer # 97) is in the foreground, with
USS Stribling (Destroyer # 96) outboard. In the middle
distance are USS Bell (Destroyer # 95), with USS Dyer
(Destroyer # 84) inboard of her. These four destroyers had builder's
hull numbers 303, 302, 301 and 279, respectively, and these numbers
are painted in small numerals on the ships' bows.
A submarine is on the building ways in the background, under
the large crane. It is probably USS S-1 (Submarine # 105)
or one of the AA-1 class.

Control Force submarines and their tenders at Christobal, Panama
Canal Zone, circa 1923.
The tenders are (from left to right): Savannah (AS-8),
Bushnell (AS-2), Beaver (AS-5) and Camden
(AS-6). Submarines are mostly "R" type boats, among
them R-23 (SS-100) and R-25 (SS-102), both in the
nest alongside Savannah's port quarter. The larger submarine
alongside Savannah's bow may be S-1 (SS-105), with
her large seaplane hangar.
