  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."

Saratoga CV3

  This one is interesting - it is 1933 or early 1934. The experimental twin .50-cal anti-aircraft gun mount is still on 8" mount #2, but the flag bridge has been modified and the rangefinder moved up a level, with the radio direction cabin removed. The two vertical objects at the top of the mast on either side are altimeters for measuring the altitude of incoming aircraft, part of the Mk 19 director system.

  This seems to be a very early visit to Puget Sound, judging by the deck markings: Sept 1928. You can see Dry Dock No. 2 to the left. The crew are doing calisthenics while the band plays. On the flight deck is a Vought UO observation floatplane.
