Title: USS OREGON (battleship #3)
Caption: Stern view of OREGON in drydock at Mare Island, circa 1912. At this time she wears gray paint instead of her original white-and-buff, and has been fitted with a cage mainmast. Her original secondary battery has been replaced by a 3-inch 50-caliber anti-torpedo-boat battery. Two of these guns can be seen on her after 13-inch turret, one each atop each after 8-inch turret. Another 3-inch gun is visible on the upper deck just forward of the after port 8" turret. This photo emphasizes OREGON's bulky, beamy underwater hull form.
Description: Courtesy of Mare Island Navy Yard, California, 1970.
