The description states simply:

–The markings on the leftmost ship identify it as the destroyer Charles J. Badger, a Fletcher class destroyer built in 1943 and decommissioned in 1957. The larger ship docked to pier 2 is a transport of some kind.
The presence of the Charles J. Badger indicates this image is from the 1950s.
