Commissioned in 1916 and serving in WWI, the Battleship Arizona BB39 remains in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, where it was sunk by Japan on December 7th 1941. These images show the Arizona when she was launched in 1915 and underway sometime between her commission in March of 1916 and when the image was published in 1917. These are early days for the Arizona showing her cage masts and mounted sponson guns. Commissioned in 1916, the Battleship Nevada BB36 served both in WWI and WWII it has an exceptional history. She was heavily damaged at Peral Harbor on December 7th. She was beached to prevent her sinking and blocking the harbor channel. Later she was repaired and returned to service.
