Germany:
Schnellboote (S-Boot) on the Norwegian Sea, WWII. E-boats was a British designation using the letter E for Enemy. The main wartime production boats, designated the S100 class, were very seaworthy, heavily armed and capable of sustaining 43.5 knots (80.6 km/h; 50.1 mph), briefly accelerating to 48 knots (89 km/h; 55 mph). These were armed with torpedoes and Flak guns; commonly one 37 mm at the stern, one 20 mm at the bow with a twin mount amidships, plus machine guns. Armament varied and some S100s substituted a 40mm Bofors or, less commonly, a 20mm flakvierling (quadruple mount) for the aft 37mm cannon.
Leipzig class light cruiser Nürnberg
Type VIIC U-boats of Wolfpack Arnauld in the Mediterranean in November 1941, including U-81 that sank aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal
Type IXC submarine U-156 in the harbour of the French port of Lorient. On the deckhouse of the boat in a white cap is its commander, Covetten-captain Werner Hartenstein (1908-43)
During her fifth patrol, in which she sank no shipping and made no attacks, U-156 was attacked twice. As a result of the second attack, on 8 March 1943, she was sunk approximately 280 nautical miles east of the island of Barbados by a US PBY Catalina from VP-53
The aircraft dropped four Mark 44 Torpex-filled depth charges at 13:15 from an altitude of 75 feet (23 m) to 100 feet (30 m) which straddled the submarine. Two were observed to hit the water 10 feet (3.0 m) to 15 feet (4.6 m) starboard and just aft of U-156, lifting it and breaking it in two, followed by an explosion. At least eleven survivors were seen swimming in the water. Two rubber rafts and rations were dropped, and five men were seen to reach one of the rafts. USS Barney was dispatched from Trinidad to rescue the survivors, but without success; the search was abandoned on 12 March 1943.

USN:
Virginia-class pre-dreadnought battleship USS Nebraska (BB-14) during the Great White Fleet's visits to the West Coast, 1908. Note ship's name in large letters mounted on her bridge face
USS Nebraska (BB-14) plowing through the water at high speed (19 knots, the fastest speed then attained by a US battleship) during builder's trials. Note the lack of white paint and the lack of 8" guns on her top turret. Pre-1907
Virginia-class pre-dreadnought battleship USS Virginia (BB-13), looking very symmetrical with her nearly identically sized foredeck and quarterdeck, the spacing between the funnels and identical turrets. Probably difficult to tell which direction she was facing at a glance. Circa 1914-16
USS Virginia (BB-13) in port 1906/07
USS Virginia's (BB-13) Marine Detachment and a couple sailors posing on the ship's after turret, circa 1910-14. Upper guns of this superposed turret are 8"/45s. The lower ones are 12"/40s.
New Mexico-class battleship USS Idaho's (BB-42), 14 inch 50 calibre guns. At the New York Shipbuilding Company, June 24, 1919.
