USS Arizona, 1918 fleet review
naval review off New York City, 26 December 1918. She was the first of ten dreadnoughts to parade past Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels
.- Reason
- high-quality image with good composition; not the best photo of the ship (that would probably be File:Uss arizona.jpg), but the only one that is large enough to qualify for FP. The angle this is taken from highlights one of the major differences of First World War capital ships from the same in the Second World War: the extremely low bridges. Compare the bridge on Arizona here to Nevada's in the Second World War.

- Comment - should the foreground be cropped out? —majestic titan) 21:43, 18 January 2010 (UTC)]
- Support. I say the foreground should be cropped out in the article about the ship, but a version with it should be kept if it appears in Nominate! 00:04, 20 January 2010 (UTC)]
- Good idea, I've added it. There was only one image of a pre-WWII naval review before that, surprisingly. —majestic titan)
