Nonsense, this is the epitome of Jackie Fisher's "Speed is Armor" approach.

A very crowded stern aboard the Iowa class battleship USS Missouri (BB-63) in 1952. The battleship was sitting off Inchon, #Korea when the photo was taken. The battleship was hosting a conference for #UN officers, most of which arrived via these helicopters. #History #Navy

A R-4B Sikorsky helicopter landing aboard the Aircraft Repair Unit (Floating) Major General Robert Olds (ARU(F) -1) in 1948. The use of helicopters aboard these ships in WW2 were some of the first major deployments of helicopters in the #UnitedStates armed forces. #history

Some nice high quality footage of the battleship USS Iowa (BB-61) courtesy of a newsreel celebrating her arrival in the United States Navy. #History #USNavy #WW2

Battleships of the Pacific Fleet conduct battle practice, likely during fleet maneuvers off San Francisco in 1920. The battleship USS New York is leading the formation, followed by her sister USS Texas. The battleship USS Wyoming is bringing up the rear of the formation.

Almost looks like a cruiser at first before the entire ship comes into view. The battleship South Dakota (BB-57) fighting heavy seas. #USNavy #History #Navy #WW2

The battleships USS Indiana and USS North Carolina steaming into Naval Base Eniwetok in July of 1944. You have to love the camoflauge patterns the girls were both wearing.

USS South Dakota (BB-57) pitching in heavy seas. Seeing the bow first and then the rest of the ship really does wonders for perspective. It looks like a cruiser at first until you see the entire battleship.

A formation of Italian Cant Z.501 Gull (Italian: Gabbiano) flying boats fly over one of Italy's Conte di Cavour class battleships. The photo was taken during the 5 May 1938 naval review off Naples.

The Omaha class light cruiser USS Richmond (CL-9) undergoing refit at the Boston Navy Yard in 1931. Her starboard screws have been removed while the port screws are still in place.

The submarine USS Atule (SS-403) torpedoes the German submarine U-977 during a test off Cape Cod on 13 November 1946. U-977 was famous for her escape to Argentina after WW2. However, she was turned over to the US after arriving and sunk the following year.

The battleship Tirpitz and other German warships in a Norwegian fjord. Some of the crew can be seen in the foreground, playing a game of football.

The predreadnought battleship HMS Renown attending the Fleet Review at Spithead for the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria on 26 June 1897. HMS Renown was then one of the newest battleships in the Royal Navy, having only been commissioned a few weeks earlier on June 8.

The United States destroyer USS McCall (DD-28) rolling in heavy seas on September 22, 1917. She was sailing behind the oiler USS Maumee (AO-2) and attempting to take on fuel during gale conditions.

I hate to see her go, but I love watching her leave. A nice stern shot of HMS Hood as she steams along at a decent clip.
