Comments and Context
As printed on the reverse of the stereograph, “Second squadron of the second division under the command of Rear-Admiral Charles M. Thomas. This battleship is of the Maine and Missouri type; has the same displacement and the same armament and carries the same complement of crew, but is a slower sailer, making 17 knots. Her trial trip for speed was not satisfactory but she has not lost this average in her later trials. The Ohio is one of three battleships built in San Francisco and launched in 1901. She mounts four 12-inch guns in her turrets and is considered one of the powerful battleships of the American Navy, although not in the first class. On this battleship was installed the great firing system, where a secret telegraph or system is brought about, showing the range of the enemy’s fleet. This is a secret known only to the United States Navy. Captain, Charles W. Barrett.”
