USS Paul Jones (DD-10)

Shown in 1905 in the Pacific Ocean, the Paul Jones was completed with a high forecastle for improved sea-keeping characteristics. The two set of stacks indicate that the boiler rooms are separated by their engine room, which should improve her survivability in a battle, as one hit would not disable all of her boilers.
