U.S. Secretary of the Navy Francis P. Matthews, standing in the center wearing a top coat, is seen while on an inspection tour of the Naval Supply Center (later called Fleet and Industrial Supply Center) located in Oakland, California. He is standing with a group of unidentified Navy officers and they are looking at aerial photographs which are probably of the supply station. A ship is in view behind them.
