The life of USS Oregon (BB-3).

 Hull of the USS Oregon, (ex BB-3) now designated IX-22 at anchor in Port Merizo, Guam after World War II. This photo was taken June 28, 1948. After the start of World War II, the Navy decided in late 1942 to scrap the ship for the war effort, but after work began the Navy requested the ship's return for use as an ammunition hulk for the upcoming invasion of Guam in 1944. She remained off the island through the mid-1950s before being sold for scrap in 1956 and broken up in Japan.
