US Navy identified the officers as:

Vice Admiral William S. Pye
Lieutenant General Delos C. Emmons, U.S. Army, (probably)
Rear Admiral Claude C. Bloch
Rear Admiral William R. Furlong (almost completely hidden behind RAdm. Bloch)
Rear Admiral John H. Newton
Rear Admiral Thomas Withers
Rear Admiral Milo F. Draemel.
Last two officers on left (not listed in order, and one nearly hidden) are possibly Captain Harold C. Train and
Rear Admiral William L. Calhoun.
