Looking aft from Crow's Nest, USS Little (DD-79), 1918
This picture shows the view looking aft from the crow's nest on the Wickes class destroyer USS Little (DD-79) while she was escorting a convoy across the Atlantic in 1918. This picture gives a really good view of the torpedo tubes, and appears to have been taken while the ship's boats were either being lowered or retreived.
