The Battleship USS Idaho, plowing through heavy seas.


Idaho was among the ships present in Tokyo Bay when Japan formally surrendered on 2 September 1945. With the war over, the ship was decommissioned in July 1946. She was sold to ship breakers in November 1947, and subsequently dismantled.

  2. It's a pity that ages pass - the age of the dreadnaught being but one.
