Unusual Members of Cruiser Cincinnati's Crew.
The feline mascot of the United States scout cruiser USS Cincinnati (CL 6), Whiffles, enjoyed position when put in gun muzzle, but poor old Soup, also mascot, didn't care for it one single bit. He leads dog's life, anyhow. This picture was taken in Brooklyn, N. Y., navy yard, where the Cincinnati was built. | Image and text provided by Connecticut State Library, Hartford, CT.
