Famous WW2 Quote
"Among the men who fought on Iwo Jima, uncommon valor was a common virtue."Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, 16 Mar 1945

Oops! I think that's a 1930--rather than 1940--pic of New Mexico; her cage masts are still in place.
Handsome looking ship either way! For years, I was used to the post-modernized version of this class of ship. These earlier photos really drive home the transition between pre- and early-WWI-era USN ships and their later kin.
