No DABs, external links good.
What's the copyright status of images from the National Naval Aviation Museum? It's a DoD facility, but I believe that it gets lots of donated photos, etc. File:USS New Mexico BB-40 1921.jpg is not likely to be an official photo with its handwritten caption, etc. And I don't see any copyright disclaimer like with NHHC images.
- I can't find anything on their site, NHHC, or Navsource, so I've replaced it with one that has a clear provenance
File:Foredeck of New Mexico class battleship 30 July 1944.jpg may or may not be by an official photographer. Can you source it better?
- The photo is at NHHC here, but I changed it anyway, as I think the one I used instead is a little more interesting

The navy called their masts "cage" masts
- Then why is the article at lattice mast? Practically nobody else used them
  - Lattice masts became very popular late in WW2 and postwar. Cage masts were used for much less time, probably because they weren't as steady as tripod masts.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:51, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
