Looks like a "scout cruiser" of the Chester class, so either USS Chester CL-1, USS Birmingham CL-2, or USS Salem CL-3. They were launched in 1907, and ultimately scrapped in 1930.
perfgeek said:
Given how often Wikipedia claims Salem was in and out of commission, and a lack of mention of participating in reviews in their description of Birmingham that would seem to suggest Chester herself.

But then a little more googling finds: www.geocities.com/scs028a/1912List.html which lists all three of them :)

Still waiting for your write up as I say this but.. were the guns 'proven' on Tyneside or taken elsewhere for testing? I can't imagine huge bangs along the river! Mind, stranger things happened..

Hi [https://www.flickr.com/photos/flyeye] this one was taken at Silloth-on-Solway, although Ridsdale in Northumberland was also frequently used.
