 | 291k | Crew-members on the stern of the Maryland (BB-46) stand near the canvas covered engines of two of her scout planes as another scout plane hovers in the distance near the Tennessee (BB-43), circa mid-1920s. The scout planes are Vought UO-1's. They entered service around 1922 replacing the VE-7/VE-9 series. They are essentially a VE-7 with a radial engine mounted and stringers added to the fuselage to give it a round cross section. They may also be considered the first of the "Corsair" line though it never carried the name. There was a fighter version (FU-1) built by covering the forward cockpit and adding 2 .30 cal MG forward. Equipped with floats, they were parceled out among the BB's of the Battle fleet for 6 months in mid 1926. The easiest way to distinguish the three radial powered Vought Observers is the shape of the tail. The O2U Corsair began replacing them about 1927. The large ship's name on the fuselage predates the change to the concept of the aircraft belonging to squadrons, rather than the ships. | USN photo courtesy of Paul & Barbara Rebold.

 | 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. | Text courtesy of David Johnston, (USNR) & Aryeh Wetherhorn (USNR).
