The DM is USS Lindsey, DM-32 originally designated as DD-771, a Sumner class DD, but completed as a DM in 1944.

The 2 ships were exercising off San Clemente Island during North Carolina's post repair trials and training after a major overhaul at Puget Sound July 31-October 1 1944. Lindsey had bust been commissioned August 20 and so was in shakedown.

do not confuse with USS Lindsay (note letter a) DE-519

Rich Miller (above):
You are completely correct, as usual, and my own verification answered the question of why these two ships were making way while so close to one another. The caption has been adjusted to reflect both pieces of information. Thank you for bringing this up.
