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.

with war looming, more money was spent on a larger ship, giving her a more refined look than earlier classes. Also the first British class (Orion) to have all Big guns on the center line, and using he new 13.5 inch instead of 12 inch guns. She had an eventful career en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Monarch_(1911)

The follow on class, with fire control forward of the stacks, was Iron Duke- or at least I'm pretty sure it was.
