Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The U.S. Navy destroyer USS Heermann (DD-532) floats in the waters off the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation shipyard, San Francisco, California (USA), just after her launching, 5 December 1942, the seagull on the piling in the foreground seemingly oblivious to the ceremonial event that has just occurred. Note how the ship is riding very high out of the water, drawing probably about 60-90 cm.
