CruDiv 7 Circa 1939
Shot from the USS San Francisco, which was the flagship at the time; USS Quincy is the near ship, USS Tuscaloosa the far one.
History does have a sense of humor; San Francisco was destined to be part of the Brawl in a few years, and Quincy would be sunk in the Worst Defeat. The force commander was Admiral Kimmel...... yeah, that Admiral Kimmel
