Summary

Description

The U.S. Navy destroyer USS Stewart (DD-224), probably at Kure, Japan, in late 1945. Note the Japanese flag painted on her midships superstructure side, with P102 showing faintly below. She carries Japanese radar antennas atop her pilothouse (a two-horn Mark 2, Model 2) and abaft her foremast (a ladder-shaped Type 3, Mark 1, Model 3).

Stewart had been captured by the Japanese damaged and sunk in a floating drydock at Surabaya, Java. She was reparied and commissioned as Patrol Boat No. 102 on 20 September 1943. The ship was found laid up by U.S. occupation forces and recommissioned on 29 October 1945 as DD-224, as USS Stewart (DE-238) was active with the U.S. Navy. Note that she wears both the Japanese hull number "P102" as the U.S. Navy hull number "224" on this photo. Stewart was transferred back to the U.S., but had to be towed before reaching Guam as her machinery gave out.
