Italy:
Submarines Archimede, left, and Leonardo da Vinci, right, at Bordeaux in February 1943
The Archimede (commanded by Tenente di Vascello Guido Saccardo) would sail on 26 February 1943, towards it assigned patrol area (between Pernambuco and the Saint Peter and Saint Paul Archipelago). On 15 April, the submarine was spotted and attacked by American Catalinas, and sank at 1625h at 03°23’ S, 30°28’ O. While roughly twenty men survived the sinking, only one (Giuseppe Lo Coco) survived long enough to be picked up by Braziliam fiserhmen.
The Leonardo da Vinci (commanded by Tenente di Vascello Gianfranco Gazzana-Priaroggia) likewise sailed from Bordeaux on 20 February, making for the Indian Ocean. During the patrol it sank six ships, including the liner Empress of Canada, becoming the most successful Italian submarine of the war (not to mention, for tonnage sunk, the most successful non-German submarine). As it made for home, on 23 May it chanced upon a convoy, and the destroyer HMS Active and the corvette HMS Ness attacked and sank her with all her crew.

USN:
America’s second and third aircraft carriers began life as a pair of battle cruisers, but after the Washington Naval Conference, which limited the number and size of capital ships, the vessels were finished to serve a different purpose. The relatively new ships were photographed at Puget Sound Navy Yard in September 1928. USS Lexington (CV-2), moored on the left, and USS Saratoga (CV-3) were nearly identical except for a walkway across the funnel on the latter. (National Archives/U.S. Navy.)
USS Pennsylvania (BB-38) a view of the battleship's forward 14/45 guns and her forward superstructure, circa the early 1930s
10 January 1946, Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. Dismantling of light cruiser USS Omaha (CL-4) nears its end.

USS Katahdin (1893)
Although Katahdin's engines were more powerful than specified, Katahdin failed to reach the contracted speed of 17 knots, requiring the passing of special legislation to allow her to be accepted by the Navy. Conditions aboard the ship were extremely uncomfortable, as it was cramped and had very poor ventilation, leading to almost intolerable temperatures being recorded.
Katahdin departed New York Harbor 4 March 1897, the day of President William McKinley's first inauguration, and sailed to Norfolk, Virginia, before decommissioning at Philadelphia Naval Yard on 17 April.
Katahdin was stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 9 July 1909 and designated "Ballistic Experimental Target 'A'". Katahdin was sunk by gunfire at Rappahannock Spit, Virginia, that September.

USN:
PACIFIC OCEAN (May 15, 2013) A Standard Missile – 3 (SM-3) Block 1B interceptor is launched from guided-missile cruiser USS Lake Erie (CG 70) during a Missile Defense Agency and U.S. Navy test in the mid-Pacific. The SM-3 Block 1B successfully intercepted a target missile that had been launched from the Pacific Missile Range Facility, Barking Sands, Kauai, Hawaii. Following target launch, Lake Erie detected and tracked the target with its onboard AN/SPY-1 radar. The ship, equipped with the second-generation Aegis BMD weapon system, developed a fire control solution and launched the SM-3 Block 1B. The intercept occurred a few minutes later. Today’s event was the third consecutive successful intercept test of the SM-3 Block IB missile. (Missile Defense Agency photo)
