USN:
Decommissioned Essex-class aircraft carrier USS Oriskany (CVA 34) sits in port at Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola, while undergoing necessary maintenance. Known as the "Big O," the 32,000-ton, 888-foot Oriskany is being delivered to Pensacola, where it is being prepared for its final journey. Oriskany is schedule to be scuttled 22 miles south of Pensacola in approximately 212 feet of water in the Gulf of Mexico May 17, 2006, where it will become the largest ship ever intentionally sunk as an artificial reef. After the Oriskany reaches the bottom, ownership of the vessel will transfer from the Navy to the State of Florida. 17 April 2006

USN:
Lead battleship of her class USS New Mexico (BB-40) at the Norfolk Navy Yard, Portsmouth, Virginia, 31 December 1941, just before she deployed to the Pacific. The camouflaged ship alongside the near side of the next pier is Heywood-class transport USS George F. Elliott (AP-13). Another BB-40 class battleship is on the other side of that pier.
Lead battleship of her class, USS New York (BB-34) pitching into heavy seas while en route from Casablanca on convoy escort duty, in March 1943. The view looks forward from her foremast. Note her twin 14″/45 gun turrets and water flowing over the main deck
