Note the plane guard trailing the carrier, either the destroyer USS Lardner or USS Lansdowne.

Lardner and Lansdowne were the screen for TU 12.5.1 (Tico and those 2 DDs) when they went to Ulithi leaving Pearl Harbor Oct 18 1944, arriving Oct 29 with a stop at Eniwetok. From Oct 1 to Oct 5, Tico operated with Ingraham (DD-694) and Morale (DD-693) as screen in a Hawaiian operating area flying day and night refresher for CAG 80. Is there a better date for the picture to determine which DDs were involved?

After a deeper dive into the available data, USS Ticonderoga’s deck log indicates this image's photographer, Lieutenant H. Bristol (a photographer with Edward Steichen’s Naval photographic unit), reported aboard on 17 Oct 1944 at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii the day before sailing to Ulithi. That dates this photo in the later half of Oct 1944.
