Records available for USS Pittsburgh during 1922-23?

I am interested in the travels of the USS Pittsburgh as flagship in the Mediterranean in 1922-23. Are there records available? Researching a Marine James Houston Reed. I have his service records, but not the ports of call which were quite numerous. Duties included representing the US Marines at the dedication of the memorial at Balleau Woods.

Dear Mr. Wade,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the Logbooks of U.S. Navy Ships, ca. 1801 - 1940 and located deck logs of the USS Pittsburgh from 2 October 1922 to 31 December 1923. For access to and copies of these records, please contact National Archives at Washington, DC - Textual Reference (RDT1) via email at archives1reference@nara.gov. RDT1 may have other records pertaining to the Pittsburgh as well.

We hope this information is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
