Those are not photoshop’ed pictures. The USS Kidd is authorized to fly the Jolly
Roger.[1] The tradition began with the
Fletcher class destroyer, USS Kidd, in 1943 and the tradition has passed down
the line of ships named Kidd.
The tradition is associated with Medal of Honor winner Admiral Isaac Kidd and a nickname related to privateer/pirate
Captain William Kidd. The usage of the
Jolly Roger was blessed by Admiral Kidd’s widow.
In addition to the flag, paintings of the Jolly Roger appear
around the ship.

Enjoy it. I’m sure
some woke idiot in the Navy will be coming for it soon.
