Description: Scene at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, Pennsylvania, December 1923, with guns from scrapped battleships in the foreground. One of these guns is marked Kansas, presumably an indication that it came from USS Kansas (BB-21). Ship being dismantled in the background is USS South Carolina (BB-26).
