This is June 1932. Saratoga had a ship's emblem painted on the inboard stripe of her stack that year. The black vertical stripe was painted on after 1929 fleet exercises. The other ships shown include USS Claxton (DD-140) on the opposite side of the center pier from Lex, plus Jason (AC-12) decommissioning at upper left, and Kearsarge (AB-1, formerly BB-5) at lower left.

I knew I recognized her. She is in the stream here about a year ago I think. A US Navy supply vessel, one of the many ships/photos from Bain regarding the revolution in Mexico en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Jason_(AC-12)

US Navy supply ship, she is in the LOC stream long ago as well.

LOC, there is a typo. The negative says 11/14/11.

Thanks for the information and for pointing out the typo in the date. We'll adjust the description when we update.

US Navy supply ship, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Jason_(AC-12) the date on the photo indicates it is the mission listed in Wiki: Jason was once again involved in a humanitarian gesture as she sailed from New York 14 November, bearing Christmas gifts for the Mediterranean fleet and the people of Europe.

Thanks for pointing out the date and context. We'll add some information when we update the description.
