USS MacDonough (DD-9), 1908
Here we see the Lawrence class destroyer USS MacDonough (DD-9) during 1908, a year in which she mainly operated from Florida or with the Atlantic Fleet, as well as visiting St Louis to take part in the city's Centennial Celebration. This picture was taken as sea, so is probably from the first half of the year.

The standard history of the development of American destroyers, from the earliest torpedo boat destroyers to the post-war fleet, and covering the massive classes of destroyers built for both World Wars. Gives the reader a good understanding of the debates that surrounded each class of destroyer and led to their individual features.
