In this 1939 photo, Captain Isaac Kidd (center) is shown with Admiral Chester Nimitz (immediately to Kidd's right). Nimitz, later Commander in Chief of the Pacific Fleet during World War II, had been a captain of the Arizona and, at the time this photo was taken, was serving as Commander, Battle Division ONE, the same position in which Kidd was serving two years later when he died on the Arizona. | Source: Collection, Archives Branch, Naval History and Heritage Command, Washington, DC
