USS Kidd (DD-661), a Fletcher-class destroyer, was the first ship of the United States Navy to be named after Rear Admiral Isaac C. Kidd, who died on the bridge of his flagship USS Arizona during the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. On this image it's floating on the shore of Mississippi river in Baton Rouge, the "Horace Wilkinson Bridge" is in the background. To be clear, I'm a convinced pacifist. scanned slide, Minolta X700

View from the skydeck of Sears Tower (since 2009 "Willis Tower"). It was the highest skyscraper on earth in 1986. 442.1 m is the architectural height, but the building is 527 m tall till the top of the antennas. I made a little research about the buildings, which can be seen here (see notes). Some are really old. scanned slide Minolta X700, Minolta MD 4/70-210mm lense
