Bradleys Head and the city behind - I think this is the US Fleet leaving Sydney on 6 August 1925. Read all about it - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16213029

Theses are both "New Mexico" class battleships, the first US battleships that had individually elevating gun barrels. USS NEW MEXICO (BB40), USS MISSISSIPPI (BB41) and USS IDAHO (BB 42) The third in the class even survived into the 1950's as a test platform for guided missiles !
