    No caption. A view of the deck of the USS Connecticut, c. 1908. The Connecticut was commissioned on September 29, 1906 as the most advanced ship in the U.S. Navy. Because the provisions of the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922 stipulated that older battleships would be disposed of, the USS Connecticut was decommissioned and sold for scrap in 1923.
