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.

    Look closely and you can clearly see the torpedo skirts lower left.

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