    From Wikipedia: The second USS Astoria (CA-34) was a United States Navy New Orleans-class heavy cruiser that participated in both the Battle of the Coral Sea and the Battle of Midway, but was then sunk in August 1942 at the Battle of Savo Island. She visited Australia in the summer of 1934 (Northern hemisphere summer), but I have no idea if this is an image of that visit or a later one.
