Summary edit

Description

80-G-702833: Ex-USS Stewart (DD-224), under tow on 24 May 1946, just before she was expended as a target.

Note that her Japanese radar antennas have been removed from atop the ship's pilothouse and abaft her foremast.
The Japanese flag painted amidships reflects Stewart's 1943-1945 service as the Japanese Navy's Patrol Boat 102. She was recovered by the U.S. Navy after the end of World War II and recommissioned as USS DD-224 for the voyage back to the United States. Official U.S. Navy Photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives.
