WWI Naval Warship Photograph – US Navy - Smoke Screen at Sea - Manoeuvres

Original vintage black-and-white photograph of naval warships performing smoke-screen maneuvers at sea. The image shows ships creating heavy plumes of smoke as part of tactical operations, a practice used extensively during WWI and WWII to obscure fleet movements from enemy observation. The word Manoeuvres is handwritten at the top border, likely in period ink, identifying the scene. Sharp detail with excellent contrast, showing multiple vessels and dramatic smoke clouds across the water. Blank reverse Some light edge wear and a small corner nick (see photos) Authentic period photograph, not a modern reproduction A striking and historically significant imageperfect for collectors of military history, naval warfare, WWI/WWII photography, and vintage war memorabilia.
