en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Wyoming_(BB-32) A keen, knowledgeable eye might look at the buildings on the right and confirm that this is Philadelphia. Probably the commission date, September 25, 1912.
Kilted Cowboy said:
another indication it is commisioning is her sister ship USS Arkansas in front of her, they were commissioned from the same yard in the same month.

See: www.navsource.org/archives/01/32a.htm and NH 95153 - Atlantic Fleet change of command ceremonies, on board USS Wyoming, 1914.
