Title: USS Lyman K. Swenson (DD-729)
Description: Tied up to pilings off the Mare Island Navy Yard, California, on 3 January 1946. Note seagulls overhead and flags flying from the ship's foremast. The signal flag on the starboard halliards is H, meaning I have a pilot aboard. The four signal flags on the port halliards are the ship's call letters NTHR.
