USS New Mexico (BB-40)
Sailor tightens an oil refueling coupling on board, circa 1919.
The original caption reads: "Coaling ship holds no terrors
for the gobs on the New Mexico as on our latest oil burning types
of super dreadnaught all that is necessary is to connect the
hose and turn on the valve."
