Opis:

Scene at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, Pennsylvania, December 1923, with guns from scrapped battleships in the foreground. One of these guns is marked "Kansas", presumably an indication that it came from USS Kansas (BB-21).

Ship being dismantled in the backround is USS South Carolina (BB-26). Based on the types of ships being scrapped, the guns probably include 12"/40 Marks 3 and 4 and 12"/45 Marks 5 and 6.
