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."
