USS Selfridge DD-357 on 9/9/41

Posted by Jeff Sharp on June 30, 2025, 8:22:31

These photographs show USS Mugford DD-389 and USS Selfridge DD-357 moored at the PH Naval Yard on September 9, 1941. One thing that caught my eye is the number "5" painted on the side of Selfridge's #3 turret.
Anybody have any idea why there is a "5" painted on that turret?
