a friend is looking for the name of this ship, we can help him

Thank you.

Hi.
I bought this interesting photo in a market. If someone who knows the ships can give me information about this ship flying American flag I thank him in advance. the photo is taken to venezia and the period surely, considering the bristol fighter of the 139 sq, is 1918 or early 1919.
thanks for any help
he's a man

from a first search (very sum and hectic) could be the uss olympia (c-6), a cruiser protected from 6,600 tons launched on 5 November 1892.
the ship measured 104,88 meters long and 16 meters wide. had six boilers, two triple-expansion engines, for 17,000 cv. reached 21 knots with an autonomy of 6000 miles.
I say it might be you since November 1919 he was in Adriatic from which he left February 14, 1920 for New York.
Today the Olympia is a floating museum:http://www.phillyseaport.org/ I will try to deepen the search and to be able to assure with greater certainty what ship it is to then provide more news on the same.
