USS Oregon on
a diplomatic visit to China
USS Oregon "showing the flag" in China
in the early part of the twentieth century. The main batteries
are covered by awnings to protect the crew from the heat. Note
that the funnels (smokestacks) have been raised since the Spanish-American
War. Compare this photo to the 1898 photo on the home page.
