"USS DELAWARE (BB-28) was one of the shortest lived of all U.S. dreadnought batleships. She was commissioned April 4, 1910. Decommissioned on November 27, 1923, and sold for scrapping on February 5, 1924. She is shown here in January 1925 at Philadelphia, near the end of the scrapping process mandated by the Washington Treaty. Photos of this sort were widely distributed at the time to demon- strate that the United States was complying with the ship-scrapping provisions of the Washington Naval Treaty. The Delaware was the first U.S. battleship with five two-gun 12-inch turrets."
