USS Winslow (DD-53) on trials, 1915
Here we see the O'Brien class destroyer USS Winslow (DD-53) during her builder's trials early in 1915. She reached 29.01kts during her trials, although the date on this picture (26-7-20) is far too late. This picture comes from 1915, as she lacked her guns, installed after the builder's trials.
U.S. Destroyers: An Illustrated Design History, Norman Friedmann . 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.
