President Hoover walking on the
quarterdeck. The guns of turret 4 are visible to the right of the photograph.
Two of the ship's aircraft are visible behind him, as is the pole crane
fitted at the stern during the modernization (it was in place until 1934,
when it was upgraded).

This photgraph, taken in 1936, shows the forward superstructure. The heavily
armored conning tower can be identified by the narrow vision slits. Just
above it the ship's bridge is visible. The long "beam" on the platform above
the bridge is the range finder, used to aim the ship's main guns. The
structures at the top of the tripod mast are stations for controlling the
ship's guns. The Arizona is passing under the partially completed
Golden Gate Bridge.
71-1-152
In later years the Arizona carried aircraft launching rails at the
stern and on one of the turrets.
71-1-191
A 5 inch anti-aircraft gun. One of the anti-aircraft guns mounted on the
superstructure deck during the ship's modernization.
