Mike, there are few wartime drydock (the USS HAMBLETON is a rare exception) or even in-yard views at BosNY available (maybe most not even taken) during WWII. When I talked to Steve Carlson, the head NPS curator at Charlestown/Boston NPS Park, he said that there weren't too many "in yard" photos taken in response to restrictions on photography during WWII. His Dad worked at Charlestown Navy Yard during and after WWII and that was what Steve was told by him.

Steve Carlson has a copy of the BosNY photo register that lists all the photos taken. It lists them in chronological order with dates, there numbering format was sequence numbers starting at "1" followed by the two digit year "xxxx-4x NYBos", but unfortunately doesn't list the subject. Based on the numbers of photos listed in the register, there are a lot of photos NOT sent into BuShips to get into the 19-LCM series. I and others have come across some of the "missing" images in other places. Some photos likely were ones taken of construction at the yard during WWII. Building ways were added for construction of DE's by BosNY as an example.

Steve has a hard time getting photography of the buildings at BosNY (Charlestown and South Boston) to track changes.

The only exception to WWII drydock views, are aerial survey photos that were periodically taken during WWII. But, they don't allow for seeing good details.

Many of the destroyers built by BosNY, BIW, Beth-Quincy, and ones that were sent to BosNY for yard work during WWII, used the drydocks. I have not found ANY views of a FLETCHER in a drydock at BosNY. I know many did use a drydock, there were several, which ones I don't know without a lot of digging.
