THREE merry sailors on an anchor. (top)
smile ss they "massage the mud hook" to get it in ship-shape for the Independence day celebration aboard the cruiser USS Raleigh (CL 7), flagship of the destroyers of the Scouting Force, now at the Washington Navy Yard
At the top right, is seen the warship herself, being polished up for the thousands of visitors expected to visit her, for she will be ready for public inspection from 1 to 5 p.m., daily, until the end of the week.
Lower left, one of the yard's powerful cranes shifting a gun from the destroyer USS Reuben James (DD-245), to a flat car. The guns from the destroyer USS Goff (DD-247), also at the yard, were taken off this morning. New guns will be placed aboard the two destroyers from the stock at the naval gun
factory—eight 4-inch guns in all. The old guns will be reconditioned for use aboard other vessels.
