USS Downes (DD-375)
View of the ship's after deckhouse, seen from off the starboard side amidships, while she was undergoing salvage in Drydock Number One at the Pearl Harbor Navy Yard, 7 January 1942. Foundations for her after 5"/38 gun mounts are visible. The guns had been removed during the early stages of the salvage work.
USS Cassin (DD-372), also with her guns removed, is capsized against Downes' port side. Both had been wrecked during the 7 December 1941 Japanese air raid.
Note what appear to be air compressor carts atop the upper deckhouse.
