 | 800k | Very large (1.8m.b) 1936 photo of Battleship Row, Pearl Harbor. Among the ships in the harbor are:
On the far left are two New Orleans (CA-32) class heavy cruisers. Neither ship can be positively identified, but I believe the outer one (the one furthest from the camera) to be either New Orleans (CA-32), Quincy (CA-39), or Vincennes (CA-44).
The battleships from left to right:
Colorado (BB-45), or West Virginia (BB-48), outboard of Idaho (BB-42),
Nevada (BB-36), outboard of Mississippi (BB-41),
New Mexico (BB-40), outboard of Maryland (BB-46) or California (BB-44).
On the far right is the Hospital ship Relief (AH-1) with two unidentified ships ahead and to her port side.

 | 242k | A New Mexico (BB-40 / 42) class battleship in the van with other battleships of the Pacific Fleet with its air arm over head. This photo dates from no earlier than 25 June 1937, when Douglas began delivery of 114 TBD-1s (the only mono-planes in this picture) and between 20 May 1941 when the New Mexico's were transferred to the Atlantic Fleet. "The Navy uses enormous amounts of rubber. At least seventy-five tons of rubber, enough to makes 17,000 tires, are used in the construction of each of these battleships. Tons more are needed for the naval planes that are making history over the world. Medical and communication requirements--and countless other needs of the Navy--are met."

 | 34k | Full stern view of the Maryland (BB-46) taken in early 1938 when she was moored in Long Beach Harbor, in Battleship row. Note the black color of the scout observation plane on the fantail and that it matches the color of the Admiral's barge in the water at the foot of the gangway.
