U.S. Navy photo.
Tautog after commissioning, possibly at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD, 1940. Note the profusion of wires, lifelines, and antennas topside. This would be largely eliminated once the war started.
The white hull ship behind her could possibly be the USS Reina Mercedes (IX-25) or the USS Cumberland (IX-8), both training/barracks ships at the academy. The ship is flying the ball-diamond-ball day shape from her mast on the port side, indicating that she is "restricted in her ability to maneuver". Both ships were immobile.
