USS Idaho, BB-42, featuring a lively sea and winds and spray. Launched during WW1 and commissioned in 1919, the Idaho and its two sister ships were transferred to the US Pacific Fleet after Pearl Harbor and saw extensive service against the Japanese, escorting troop carrying ships and providing heavy artillery support for US amphibious assaults on Japanese-held islands. She was present in Tokyo Bay for the Japanese surrender.
As an older ship she was disposed of in 1946.
