Title: Coast Battleship No. 4
Description: (ex-USS Iowa, Battleship # 4) Damaged after use as a radio-controlled target during Fleet gunnery practice off Panama, 22 March 1923. Note shell holes in the ship's hull side, in line with the main mast, collapsed forward smokestack, and other damage to her superstructure. Also note numbers painted around her lower foretop, probably to indicate bearings, and F5L flying boat taxiing in the left background. The target ship was sunk as a result of damage received in this exercise. Donation of Franklin Moran, 1967. U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command Photograph.
