Information update on photo dialogue as listed. Great shot!! However, this cannot be during trials of USS Colorado, for as completed and during trials they did not have, as yet the cagemasts(as shown), which did not come until several years later...5-10 years post completion, during conversion and update periods late 20's early 30's.
Sorry 'bout that.
