Summary

[edit]
Description Circa 77 laid-up U.S. Navy Clemson and Wickes-class destroyers on the U.S. West Coast, in 1924. Identifiable are USS Hazelwood (DD-107), USS Dent (DD-116), and USS Alden (DD-211), and the destroyer tenders USS Buffalo (AD-8), inboard, and USS Prairie (AD-5).
As the photo was archived by the 11th Naval District, the base is most probably the (then called) 32nd Street Naval Base at San Diego, California (USA), where 77 destroyers were decommissioned in 1924.
