ON THE COVER:
This moody painting depicts USS New Mexico (BB-40) while also highlighting this month’s section on US Navy art from the Great War. Completed at the New York Naval Shipyard at the end of WWI, New Mexico escorted President Woodrow Wilson in the USS George Washington to France to sign the Treaty of Versailles. New Mexico was the first US Navy ship with turboelectric transmission, an innovation that increased engine performance while reducing overall size requirements and weight. It proved so successful that the Navy immediately decide that all future ships would use this type of engine.
