18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
Climbing a Ramp to the Flight Deck of the USS New York

The Spruance Division of the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps got a special after-hours behind the scenes tour of the USS New York when the ship was in port at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This photo shows a group of young cadets walking up an interior ramp to the flight deck. It was an incredible experience for the cadets (age 10-18), their instructors and their parents.
