These are drawings of the USS KIDD, The KIDD also adopted and proudly flew the Skull & Crossed Bones as it's private signal. The KIDD is the only US NAVEL vessel that the US Admiralty gave permission to fly this otherwise forbidden flag.

Actually there is a current US Navy vessel allowed to fly the jolly roger it is the USS Hawes FFG-53 homeported in Norfolk, VA. Captain Hawes first flew it during WWII in the Pacific. His orginial flag is displayed in the officers mess.
