I am wanting information on the USS Maryland concerning the date of November 30, 1928.  My grandfather was on board the Maryland at that time.  He talked about crossing the equator with President Hoover being aboard the ship.  I have a document, Domain Neptunus Rex, that is signed by Hoover.  I want to know if this is Hoover's signature.  I'm curious if any of the crew from that 1928 voyage are still living. The paper also includes my grandfather's name and rank.  Are there any photographs available of this experience?  How would I find/obtain a photo of the USS Maryland crossing the equator if they are in existence?
