[Gutkowski]

I am trying to figure out if this is the elusive SC 275 that there seems to be no photos anywhere of this boat .Do the hull numbers look like 275 to you ?

Feel free to post some of your favorite ships of the Wars

 

The top ship is the USS Von Steuben 1917-1919

I'm a little late to the table, here ... But yes, that appears to be SC 275. I posted a nice shot of this chaser not long ago, here:

Based on the shape of the hull number characters -- the rounded 7 in particular, I'd say it's almost certain that your photo is of the same chaser. I would guess that the photo was taken sometime shortly post-war, as the deck gun is still there but the bearing indicator is gone. Can't quite tell if the Y-gun is still in place.

NavSource has a few pictures during and just after her construction. I find myself looking at this web site often for Navy ship references.

I don't know if you looked here, but this is the link for SC-275: http://www.navsource.org/archives/12/150275.htm

 

Good luck with your search.
