United States Navy - Atlantic Fleet
United States Navy - Atlantic Fleet in harbour, including the Illinois-class battleships USS Alabama and USS Illinois, distinctive for having side-by side funnels. An observation ballon is inflated and picketed in the foreground. It is unclear where this was taken, though it could be in the Caribbean or South America. Alternatively it is possible this is a photo of the assembled Great White Fleet, which conducted a world tour in 1907, returning in 1909
