Title: Battleships at night
Caption: Battleships of the combined U.S. Fleet, at Los Angeles Harbor preparing for the cruise to Hawaii and Australia, staged a demonstration in the form of an electrical display on the night of 30 March 1925. Thousands of electric lights outlined the ships and the ships' searchlights wove intricate electrical patterns across the sky. In this photograph eight battleships can be seen as part of the display.
