[Power on the Flood]

Photograph of a small segment of the Navy's armada entering a Pacific anchorage. The lineup includes an Independence class carrier, an Essex class carrier, three modern battleships, and three cruisers. The lens of the camera distorts the perspective of the photograph, so that the ships seem much closer to each other than they really are.
