Photograph of a view of the USS Melvin in front of a smokescreen, [s.d.]. The destroyer, DD-335, can be seen at center and is headed to the left. Four smokestacks can be seen amidships, and several small guns can be seen on the deck. In the background, a tall, dense cloud of smoke spans the entire image.
