'אמעריקא בודאי תצליח במלחמתה' [America Will Surely Succeed in Her War] (American Battleship North Carolina [Hebrew])
A photograph taken along the deck of a US battleship shows its forward gun turret firing in a cloud of smoke, with officers on the bridge wing, above a Hebrew text block, a US flag and a portrait of President Roosevelt. The flag and portrait lend authority (transfer), the headline is a quotation attributed to the President (testimonial), and the text gives only US ship counts and claims of superiority (card-stacking).

Text on the object
„אמעריקא בודאי תצליח במלחמתה כי הצדק אתה ובמסירת נפש של עמה תהרום את אויבה" — הנשיא רוזבעלט הכי־מזוינה ומשורינת שבעולם זו אנית המלחמה הגדולה האמריקאית. ארבע אניות מלחמה כבירות הוכנסו זה עתה לשירות הים. אניות אלה הן ארבע הראשונות משבע עשרה אניות חדשות שבקרוב יעלה מספרם לשלשים ושתים, — כפלים מכוחות הצי הנמצא ברשותה של אומה אחרת. לאמריקה יש עכשיו 343 אניות פועלות והממשלה מכינה עוד 345 אניות כאלו. הנשיא רוזבלט
“America will surely succeed in her war, for justice is with her, and through the self-sacrifice of her people she will demolish her enemy.” — President Roosevelt The best armed and armoured in the world is the great American warship. Four mighty warships have just now entered naval service. These ships are the first four of seventeen new ships whose number will soon rise to thirty-two, double the strength of the fleet in the possession of any other nation. America now has 343 ships in action, and the government is preparing 345 more such ships. President Roosevelt
