Title: "Radio operated Model French Destroyer"
Description: Photo #: NH 110724 Radio operated Model French Destroyer ... this large model of the French destroyer 'TERRIBLE' demonstrated to officials the possibilities of the use of this method of directing ships during war. (Quoted from the original caption). This photograph's place and date are unknown. However, since the original print was cataloged in 1937, it was taken in that year or somewhat earlier. The French destroyer Le Terrible was launched in late 1933, ran trials in 1935 and entered service in mid-1936. Note the radio control console on shore, at left, and the man holding the model's stern. U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command Photograph.
