I'm curious if the date on this (marked as 1915) is correct, as the online sources on the USS Upshur (DD-144) all say it was built in 1918, and another source with this photo says it was taken in 1918 too. www.navsource.org/archives/05/144.htm

rarefruitfan The note is "between ca. 1915 and ca. 1920", I can't see a date on this photo, but the caption on the next is 1/3/19 www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/30684894601/

The New-York tribune., January 04, 1919, Page 7, col. 5 reported that "the destroyer Upshur came in from Fire Island with 230 wounded man and landed them in Hoboken." It's likely this episode. chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1919-01-04/ed-...

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.
