USS Kearsarge 1916 dreadnaught configuration
Caption: October, 1916 photo off Boston shows standard pre-dreadnought modifications. These included a cut down bridgework, canvas covering at her conning position and wheel house, and unarmored turret mounted range finders. As with the Indiana (BB-1), the Kearsarge (BB-5) was also plagued with a low freeboard. Cage masts have replaced her original fighting masts for better long distance salvo spotting and stability.
