U.S.S. Maryland 1941Battleship

USS Maryland was a Colorado-class American battleship armed with sixteen-inch guns. It survived the Pearl Harbor attack and later supported Pacific campaigns, including bombardment and fleet operations.

At Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941, Maryland lay inboard of Oklahoma on Battleship Row. Oklahoma’s position helped shield her from torpedoes, although bomb hits still caused damage and casualties. Maryland returned to service after repairs and later employed her eight 16-inch guns in support of amphibious operations. Her subsequent career included Surigao Strait and repeated exposure to air attack. The 1941 appearance belongs to the period before those later bombardment campaigns and wartime alterations.
