Photo #: NH 75499 USS Constitution (CC-5) Under construction at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, Pennsylvania, 14 July 1921.

This view shows the ship's arrangement amidships, with two very long centerline machinery spaces, each with four boiler rooms to each side and torpedo protection bulkheads outboard of the boiler rooms. The after machinery space bulkhead and the aftermost four boiler rooms have not yet been installed. Construction of this ship was halted by the Naval Limitations Treaty in February 1922.
