Show First U. S. Battleship Since 1923 XEW YORK CITY An unusual unus-ual view of the new United States battleship, which is being commissioned at the Brooklyn Xavy Yard. She is the first to be added to the navy since 1923, and the first man-of-war to be built in tlris country without porholes. She was designed with poiioles but war lessons show that the concussive force of large bombs exploding nearby smash even the steel battle ports and cause damage inside. (Approved (Ap-proved by U. S. Navy.) |
