San Francisco Bulletin, 04-October-1923 |
The US Navy needed to downsize after World War One because of limits set by the 1922 Washington Naval Treaty and budget constraints, so they held a clearance sale. The battleships and battlecruisers listed as being "On Ways" were not completed. The battleships listed as "Afloat" were pre-Dreadnoughts.
