    Both photos were likely taken at New York Navy Yard on the day of the battleship's commissioning, 3 June 1920. The deck view is taken from the ship's fantail looking forward. Note numerous visitors on deck, including women in formal attire, as well as photographers with tripods, indicating a festive occasion, yet a great number of shipyard workers dressed for work occupy most of the topside spaces above the main deck. The ship is incomplete -- scaffolding surrounds the main top, and calibration equipment is attached to the 14-inch guns of No.4 main batter turret. TENNESSEE was officially completed and delivered to the Navy on 16 September 1920.
