An account of her planned commissioning at Brooklyn Navy Yard, June 3, 1920: "PUT THE TENNESSEE INTO SERVICE TODAY; Biggest Battleship Afloat Will Be Commissioned Here with Simple Ceremonies. CREW ALL TENNESSEANS Delegations Arrive from Name State --Vessel's "Fighting Brain" a Marvel. The Tennessee, the biggest battleship afloat, will be put into commission with ceremonies at 2:30 this afternoon at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, where it was built at a cost of about $20,000,000. She is a unique ship in many respects." query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=950CE0D91F3BEE...

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.
