 | 50k | Utah (BB-31) inboard profile 1923.The engines, boilers and coal-passing scuttles in the bulkhead behind the boilers have been drawn in.

 | 227k | Busy harbor scene featuring an assembly of ships with flags flying from stem to stern. Flat armor on the turret roof makes this a 12" gunned battleship. Torpedo Bilges and single cage mast make this a post 1921 Treaty update leaving us with only the Florida class and Wyoming class ships. The pole supports for the bridge & and other mast platforms, the size and shape of mid-ship expansion of the main deck to relocate 5"/51 Battery higher and further outboard and the "step-down" where the plating covering the former forward 5" gun casemate (partially obscured by the mooring lines) makes this a Florida class. I say it is the Utah (BB-31) because the Florida (BB-30) appears to have retained the blast deflector plating around the fighting top while the Utah did not. | US Navy Photograph courtesy of Ric Hedman.
