    Mass Held For Dead of Army and Navy Largely Attended
    New York, May 24.-There was a large attendance at the military field mass in the Brooklyn navy yard today.
    As early as 9 o'clock the people began to gather at the navy yard gates although the mass was not to begin until 10:30. Every building facing the parade ground where the mass was celebrated was adorned with American flags and a profusion of the fags hung over the balconies of the marine barracks, before the center of which the elaborate altar wast erected.
    Before the mass there was music, both religious and secular, ranging from "Onward Christian Soldiers" to "Auld Lang Syne," "Annie Lauri," and "Marching Through Georgia."

    From ussnautilus.org/submarines-at-the-brooklyn-navy-yard/
    "While no submarines were ever built in the Yard, the dry docks were a frequent home for repairs and short stays. The USS Porpoise and the USS Shark, built in 1903, spent time being refitted in the Navy Yard dry docks. It was also here that they were disassembled in 1908 to be transported to the Philippines where they served until 1919."

    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.
