Please also let us know anything else about the photo that you have information on, as well as things you are sure it's not because you've already checked. This will save people time because it helps them avoid retracing your steps.– SPavel ♦Commented Mar 19 at 17:11

Judging from the other ship in the photo, must be at least 1950.– Astor FloridaCommented Mar 19 at 17:40

After some looking at Armed Merchant Cruisers, I believe instead that this is USS Vulcan (AR-5), a Vulcan-class repair ship. A better picture can be found at Navsource.org showing the rear gun turrets much better.
The picture from Navsource shows:
where you can clearly see the rear turrets, and the cranes astride the rear funnel.
Vulcan was in service from 1941 to 1992.
