Now that's just mean, is what that is...[:D]



BrucePowers -> RE: Another Mystery Ship (5/12/2007 4:03:18 PM)

Hint, this ship is in WITP

That narrows it down. [:'(]

A bigger clue could be that it may still exist as a museum or something...since that picture looks like a modern picture (high quality).

That appears to be an overhead light next to the guages...not natural light from a porthole, which is what I first thought.

Can't make out the guages though...I'm going to guess that it is on a sub, don't know which one.



BrucePowers -> RE: Another Mystery Ship (5/12/2007 4:09:42 PM)

I had to cut the picture quality due to size limits. One of the guages reads MAIN STEAM another reads VALVE CHEST

This is not a sub

USS Texas



BrucePowers -> RE: Another Mystery Ship (5/12/2007 5:08:36 PM)

Yes, the last batlleship class built for the USN using triple expansion steam engines and boy are those things huge.

Here is a view from the bow in Febuary of this year:

Always love to going down to San Jacinto and spend a day on her. Well worth the price of admission. Plus the battle grounds are right there too.

Check this. [:D]

Go to http://www.mapblast.com/(yz3tau551efkpe45ir03taii)/Home.aspx
type in San Jacinto State Park
On the NW side of the park is an inlet go to it then choose birds eye view.



DuncanLang -> RE: Another Mystery Ship (5/14/2007 11:13:40 PM)

pbear,

Thanks. That is a cool view. My father served on the Texas 44-45. I made one brief visit to her when I was headed cross-country one time, but would love to go back for a longer visit.
