Looking aft at her forward eight-inch gun turret and bridge, while she was steaming on the target range in Manila Bay, Philippine Islands, circa 1906. Photographed by F.B. Way, a crew member, who presented it to F.M. Deats with the following poem inscribed on its reverse:

"I hold the thunder, flame is my breath
Monstrous I swim, swollen with death
All man's achievements centered in me
At the crown of his knowledge, I blast the sea"
