Description
English: The U.S. Navy destroyer USS Chew (DD-106) underway at sea in the eastern Pacific area, 2 August 1945. Note the late World War II configuration of this old destroyer: the aftermost of her original four smokestacks was removed, with the remaining three shortened; retention of midships torpedo tubes and original four 4/50 guns, with one gun still mounted on her main deck aft; and K-Gun depth charge throwers in place of her after torpedo tubes. Chew's paint scheme is somewhat reminiscent of the 1941 vintage Camouflage Measure 1, with dark paint except on her smokestack tops and (apparently) her upper upper foremast.
