Bombing VIRGINIA (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• TVL1970 said:

  The aerial bombing trials of 1923 conducted by General Billy Mitchell (USAAS), which saw the destruction of USS Virginia (BB-13) as a target ship in September 1923. Virginia, commissioned in 1906, was long obsolete and slated for sale and scrapping under the terms of the Washington Naval Treaty. Instead of being sold for scrap, she was eliminated from the fleet during the aforementioned bombing trials. Here is footage of Virginia being bombed and ultimately sunk (see beginning at the 10min 58sec mark): YouTube - US National Archives: Aerial Bombing of Ships (1921-1923) - (National Archives Identifier: 24624 - Local Identifier: 111-H-1119)

  Indeed. In spite of his attempt to disguise his identity. We'll add some of the details to the record for this image the next time we update.

  Spectacular pic. Ship closest to camera is a Tennessee class battleship. The next 2 belong to Colorado class. 4th is possibly another Tennessee class ( possibly another Colorado, the awnings make it hard to tell. 5th appears to be Pennsylvania Class. A formidable gun line!
