“On Navy Day in 1945, a seven-mile line of U.S. Navy warships anchored in the Hudson River and some 1,200 Navy planes flew overhead in commemoration of the event."

USS West Virginia as she appeared with temporary repairs on her April, 1943 voyage to Puget Sound Naval Yard, Bremerton, Washington for proper reconstruction, following the December 7th, 1941 attack.

“The rebuild was a lengthy process, and she wouldn't emerge from the shipyard until the fall of 1944. This photo shows how she was stripped for her trip across the Pacific; Masts, secondary guns, radars, catapults and planes have all been removed to insure her stability until she was permanently rebuilt.”

Pennsylvania (BB-38) in the lead followed by West Virginia (BB-48), Colorado (BB-45), Maryland (BB-46), California (BB-44) and Texas (BB-35).
The ship behind the Texas appears to be the New York (BB-34). You can see a shadow on the forward fighting top consistent with the forward-facing bathtub that New York had, plus you can barely make out the double turrets.

At the outbreak of the First World War in August 1914, Britannia was assigned to the Grand Fleet. During 1916, she served in the Mediterranean and Adriatic before transferring to Atlantic patrol and convoy escort duties in 1917.

On 9 November 1918, while operating off Cape Trafalgar, Britannia was torpedoed by the German submarine UB-50. The attack caused extensive flooding and a fire in an ammunition magazine. Although most of her crew escaped, 50 men were killed and approximately 80 injured.

Britannia sank just two days before the Armistice, becoming one of the last British warships lost during the First World War.

The training cruiser Benjamin Constant was the first Brazilian naval vessel built specifically for that purpose. Its keel was laid in 1891, and it was launched in 1892, though it was only commissioned into the Brazilian Navy in 1894 due to the Revolta da Armada (Naval Revolt). In 1895, it undertook its first cruise to Bahia; upon returning to Rio, it set out again—this time heading as far as Pará and eventually reaching Trindade Island (off the coast of Espírito Santo). This mission was intended to secure Brazilian sovereignty over the island, which was then the subject of a territorial dispute with the British—a conflict eventually resolved through Portuguese mediation in favor of Brazil. It is an interesting piece of history to share before looking at the photographs. In 1906, the ship embarked on another training voyage, visiting ports including Salvador, São Vicente, São Miguel (in the Azores), Plymouth, Antwerp, Kristiansand, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Kiel, Wilhelmshaven, Amsterdam, Le Havre, Cherbourg, Lisbon, and Las Palmas. While I cannot identify the specific port for every photograph—with the exception of the final one, taken at Ponta Delgada in the Azores—the images capture the crew in the midst of lowering a ship’s boat (escaler). They also reveal a stark contrast between the sailors and the officers; at the time, the Brazilian Navy was sometimes referred to as an "island of white men," as the officer corps was composed almost exclusively of upper-class white individuals—nobles, aristocrats, and members of traditional military families. In contrast, the enlisted ranks consisted primarily of Black and mixed-race (pardo) men from impoverished backgrounds or those who had been enslaved (slavery was abolished in Brazil in 1888). The era was also marked by the use of corporal punishment—specifically flogging—against the sailors. Other images show bayonet drills and the inspection of shore-leave permits. We can also see the commanding officer, Capitão de Fragata (Commander) Carlos Pereira Lima, seated in the center, accompanied by... A group of the ship’s officers; we also see two officers alongside two sergeants inspecting the ship’s equipment. Regarding this penultimate photo, please excuse its quality—I couldn’t find a higher-resolution version, so I enlarged it, which resulted in this appearance. This is the ship’s commanding officer, Frigate Captain Carlos Ferreira Lima, wearing his dress uniform from that period. Finally, here is the ship in the Azores.
