The Philadelphia Navy Yard
The Philadelphia Navy Yard around 1921-22. Most of these ships were scrapped here. You will see the early turn of the century American Naval Power decommissioned by the Washington Naval Treaty. South Carolina's, a Maine maybe two, a Connecticut and dozens of other ships. The big armoured cruiser with the four stacks is possibly a Pennsylvania class armoured cruiser, followed by the smaller St. Louis class armoured cruiser. Next to her is a Kearsarge or a New Jersey with the 8-inch on top of the main turrets. The round turret looks like it is a Kearsarge class. Torpedo boat destroyers and destroyers as well.
