California as she looked as of december 1941.
California was a Tennessee class battleship, the last american battleship built on the west coast. She was the flagship of the pacific fleet for much of her career and never left the pacific ocean once.
California participated in many fleet problems during the interwar years.
On December 7, 1941, she was berthed in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, at the southernmost berth on "battleship row."
The attack sunk her and killed 100.
In 1942, the US Navy raised her and modernized her.
She served the rest of the war and then decommissioned in 1947.
She was sold for scrap in 1959.
Other ships in the pictures are the Texas (BB-35), Nevada (BB-36), and colorado (not yet posted)
