Postcard - Bremerton, Washington

"Bremerton Navy Yard, near Tacoma, Wash. Heart of Pacific Northwest Naval Defense Plan is the huge Puget Sound Navy Yard at Bremerton, on Elliott Bay. Navy construction center and repair haven for the battleships of the Pacific Fleet when in the Northwest, the Yard is now being enhanced by construction of a $4,500,000 graving dock, which will be the largest in this country and capable of handling any ship in the world."

Hmm, claiming Bremerton is on Elliott Bay seems like a stretch. The language on this card, plus the use of  the name "Puget Sound Navy Yard" suggest this dates to World War II.
