Ship details: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Idaho_(BB-42)
To go directly to photos of a specific ship, simply enter her name in the search window (little white space) at the upper left. Ditto for a type of warship, country, year, etc..., e.g. battlecruiser. You can click on an individual photograph to view it alone against a dark background. When you want to go back to the page, just click outside the picture. Please note that I resize, denoise/despeckle/descratch and generally crop the photos to show mostly the ship itself in the space available.

Battleship USS Idaho fitting out at New York Ship Building Corporation, June 23rd 1919.
Note the lack of hull-mounted secondary armament. According to navsource.org, she was the first battleship to be completed without such guns as their ports were plated over before her commissioning; however, the emplacements remained as her hull was otherwise like that of her sister ships.
