Justice was a
pre-dreadnought battleship built for the
French Navy in the early 1900s. She was the second member of the
Liberté class, which included three other vessels and was a derivative of the preceding
République class. Justice carried a
main battery of four 305 mm (12 in) guns, with ten 194 mm (7.6 in) guns for her secondary armament. On entering service, Justice became the
flagship of the 2nd Division of the
Mediterranean Squadron, participating in the training routine of squadron and fleet maneuvers and cruises, as well as several
naval reviews. During World War I, Justice was used to escort
troopship convoys carrying elements of the French Army from North Africa to face the Germans invading northern France and also steamed to contain the
Austro-Hungarian Navy in the
Adriatic Sea, taking part in the minor
Battle of Antivari. She was sent to the
Black Sea after the war to oversee the surrender of German-occupied Russian warships, and then briefly became a training ship, before being decommissioned in the early 1920s. This photograph shows Justice in 1909 near New York City.Photograph credit:

He proposed tax cuts in 1962; they were passed in 1964.
[3] On a larger subject: the "Domestic Policies" section of the JFK article seems pretty dismissive. Certainly it's wrong to imply, as strongly as it does, that the tax cuts passed in 1964 owed little to his efforts.

A quick scan of my old Ency. Britannica noted as accomplishments: Cuban missle crisis, which may have helped lead Kruschev to sign, 10 mos later, the nuclear test ban treaty. It notes that Congress was indeed wary of his domestic plans (one that passed was the Peace Corps) in part because of the closeness of the election -- but that Kennedy was convinced he would win a 1964 landslide against Goldwater, and get the mandate for the massive tax cut, and civil rights leglislation that he wanted. --
