That is not the USS Montpelier (CL-57). That is the USS Denver (CL-58)

Anonymous (above):
The Navy caption for this image identifies the ship as the Denver, as you say, and adds that the photo was taken from sister-ship USS Columbia (from the top of the mast maybe?). Logs indicate Columbia, Denver, and Montpelier all arrived together at this harbor on this date. Columbia and Denver were moored in adjacent berths, according to the berth numbers listed in the logs, but without a berthing chart for this harbor, this clue is suggestive rather than conclusive. Montpelier and Denver had the same all-gray paint schemes at this time so that is not helpful to this question. In the largest and best resolution of this photo, the hull number is not readable either. Based on all of this, it seems far more likely this is Denver, as you and the Navy say it is, and not Montpelier so our caption and links have been amended. Thank you for raising this question and causing us to look into this further.
