The U.S. Navy destroyer base, San Diego, California (USA), in early April 1941. The stripped destroyer is probably ex-USS <i>Turner</i> (DD-259/YW-56); the tanker is probably USS <i>Neosho</i> (AO-23), USS <i>Platte</i> (AO-24), or USS <i>Sabine</i> (AO-25); and the two-funneled ex-destroyer is probably USS <i>Little</i> (APD-4). Note the four-piper destroyers, including one on the marine railway. The tender is USS <i>Rigel</i> (AD-13). Part of a new housing development is visible in the background.
