USS ARKANSAS (BB-33) anchored off Gibraltar. After her sister, USS WYOMING (BB-32), was converted into a training ship in 1930, she was the oldest active US Navy Battleship in service. Which remained that way until she was decommissioned in 1946. Like USS TEXAS (BB-35), she survived two attempts to replace her.

"WHICH WAR DOG WILL SURVIVE?

Both USS WYOMING (BB-32) (left) and USS ARKANSAS (BB-33) (right) must be scrapped under the terms of the London naval treaty. But one will escape the scrap heap as a training ship. They wait in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, New York, while officers decide."
