Title: USS John B. Hinton
Description: (SP-485) At the Norfolk Navy Yard, Virginia on 18 August 1917. The camouflaged ship partially visible in the right background is USS Warren J. Courtney (SP-375). By a July 1917 Navy General Order, these former civilian fishing vessels' names were ordered shortened to surnames only. However, their longer names often continued to be used.
