A US Battle Squadron is shown during gunnery practice in 1921. The leading ship is
Nevada
or
Oklahoma,
distinguishable by her pattern of secondary gun mounts. Note the characteristic
US cage masts, intended to insure that ships could keep firing at long range despite mast hits,
and the bearing markings on No 2 turret.
