USS Gleaves (DD-423) underway on 18 June 1941

Summary edit

Description
English: The U.S. Navy destroyer USS Gleaves (DD-423) underway on 18 June 1941. This photo shows a good example of the U.S. Navy Camouflage Measure 2 graded system. Note the unusual placement of the hull number below the bridge. The Benson-/Gleaves-class destroyers were notoriously topheavy. Therefore, the shields of gun mounts 3 and 4 were open and covered by canvas to reduce weight. Gleaves is also already missing the searchlight platform aft. Later, the No. 3 gun was removed and the No. 4 received a standard turret.
