USS Crowninshield (DD–134) was a Wickes class destroyer in the United States Navy between World War I and World War II. She was named for Benjamin Williams Crowninshield. In World War II she was transferred to the Royal Navy where she was named HMS Chelsea, and subsequently to the Soviet Navy where she was named Derzkiy.

Thanks for help with spellings and also spotting the photographer's name.
Dendroica cerulea said:
Probably this battleship.
Black and white archive said:
We can still argue over the spelling. According to the OED it's either Tsarevich (no T in the middle) or Tsarewitch (W with a T).
Jim Rees said:
Except that the Russian spelling is apparently Цесаревич, which transliterates more closely as Tsesarevich.
FrigateRN said:
Never mind the spelling, it's a great old photograph, thank you for sharing.
