Starboard view underway. This is a photograph of USS Tennessee (Armored Cruiser No. 10). Unlike North Carolina, her
stacks were a uniform width. She can be differentiated from the other uniform stacked sister, USS Washington (Armored Cruiser No. 11), by the presence of searchlights on
her mainmast fighting top and the configuration of port holes on the bow. (caption updated by Evan Dwyer) |
