caption_attribution_description: U.S. Navy ships in Trepassey Bay, Newfoundland, Canada. The picture was most probably taken in May 1919 on occasion of the transatlantic flight of the U.S. Navy Curtiss NC seaplanes. The still camouflaged oiler in the foreground would then be USS Hisko (ID 1953) with the destroyer USS Upshur (DD-144), and another one hidden behind Hisko. Behind the oiler is the minelayer USS Aroostook (CM-3), which operated as a seplane tender for the four NC flying boats. The last ship visible is a destroyer tender.
