Summary

Description
English: "Maryland (BB-46) at Puget Sound on 9 February 1942. The remaining Pacific Fleet battleships were kept at a 48 hour state of readiness due to invasion fears on the West Coast. Very little rebuild work could be done with this sailing time restriction. Little damaged at Pearl Harbor, she sailed for the main land as soon as she could be freed from her docking quay. Visible are the splinter shields on her 5"/25 mounts. She still carries 5"/51 guns in casemates."
