I found this on Yorktown's DANFS page...."Yorktown operated off the eastern seaboard, ranging from Chesapeake Bay to Guantanamo Bay, into 1939. As flagship for Carrier Division (CarDiv) 2, she participated in her first war game, Fleet Problem XX, along with her sistership Enterprise (CV-6) in February 1939. The scenario for the exercise called for one fleet to control the sea lanes in the Caribbean against the incursion of a foreign European power while maintaining sufficient naval strength to protect vital American interests in the Pacific. The maneuvers were witnessed, in part, by President Roosevelt, embarked in the heavy cruiser Houston (CA-30)." Maybe the photo is from this time?

I'm assuming Yorktown and Enterprise are present but I have no idea who the other ships are or the date and place of this photo.
Any help is appreciated.
