Description: Check photo for condition.Illustrated Post Card Co.USS Connecticut (BB-18)USS Connecticut (BB-18), the fourth United States Navy ship to be named after the state of Connecticut, was the lead ship of her class of six battleships. Her keel was laid on 10 March 1903; launched on 29 September 1904, Connecticut was commissioned on 29 September 1906, as the most advanced ship in the US Navy. Connecticut served as the flagship for the Jamestown Exposition in mid-1907, which commemorated the 300th anniversary of the founding of the Jamestown colony. She later sailed with the Great White Fleet on a circumnavigation of the Earth to showcase the US Navy's growing fleet of blue-water-capable ships. After completing her service with the Great White Fleet, Connecticut participated in several flag-waving exercises intended to protect American citizens abroad until she was pressed into service as a troop transport at the end of World War I to expedite the return of American Expeditionary Forces from France. For the remainder of her career, Connecticut sailed to various places in both the Atlantic and Pacific while training newer recruits to the Navy. However, the provisions of the 1922 Washington Naval Treaty stipulated that many of the older battleships, Connecticut among them, would have to be disposed of, so she was decommissioned on 1 March 1923, and sold for scrap on 1 November 1923.See awesome photos for condition - Not PostedWhen you check out, select the shipping method you prefer.Standard Shipping is USPS First Class Mail shipped in a flexible card stock mailer with NO TRACKINGFirst Class Shipping is USPS First Class Package packed in heavy card stock mailer WITH TRACKINGUSPS Priority Shipping, your card will come in a hard plastic sleeve, shipped USPS Priority WITH TRACKINGAll Postcards will come shipped in a BCW 3 11/16 x 5 3/4 Sleeve(Unless described otherwise)What you see is what you get.I will combine multiple purchases to save on shipping.If you bought multiple postcards, wait for an invoice with combined postage.Please read the conditions of this auction fully before bidding: I will not falsify customs forms.
