I hope that was taken just before the order to abandon ship. It look's like she could roll over just about anytime.

Nice photo. I hadn't seen that one before. Got anymore like that (from the Japanese perspective)?

Thanks

Chez

Wow, Polish site :) Thanks.

EDIT: I hope nobody will try to make shipside with this camo pattern of Nevada: http://www.warship.get.net.pl/_History/Galleries/I01208.jpg

Some camo patterns were designed less to hide the ship but rather to confuse the enemy in trying to calculate submarine torpedo solutions.
