USS Warrington (DD-30), USS Walke (34), USS Porter (DD-59), Queenstown, 1918
This picture shows the stern of the Paulding class destroyer USS Warrington (DD-30) in the foreground, the Monaghan class destroyer USS Walke (DD-34) behind it and the Tucker class destroyer USS Porter (DD-59) in the background. The Warrington and Walke were very similar ships, as can be seen here. On both ships we can see the rear gun and gun mount, and on the Walke we also see part of one of the two torpedo tubes. The exposed ship's wheels can also be seen on both. The Porter was from the third class of the 1,000 tonner destroyers. The picture was taken at Queenstown, Ireland, probably in 1918.
