U.S. Atlantic Fleet Change of Command Ceremony On board Wyoming (BB-32) September 17, 1914, probably at the New York Navy Yard. Rear Admiral Charles J. Badger is at right, reading his orders as he turns command of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet over to Rear Admiral Frank Friday Fletcher (right center). Looking on, in left center, is Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske, aide for operations to Secretary Daniels of the Navy. — NavSource Naval History

Retired at last and TVL 1970: Thanks for providing the context for this image, and more complete information on Adm. Fletcher. (And thank you for linking to sources!) We will add more details to this record when we update.
