JohnDillworth -> Picture of a ship at the Brooklyn Navy Yard (1/27/2012 11:57:08 PM)
Atlanta Class me thinks. Can't tell which one though. [image]local://upfiles/31520/6ED3ED06689D432E8F23A131AEFD283C.jpg[/image]

vettim89 -> RE: Picture of a ship at the Brooklyn Navy Yard (1/28/2012 12:08:27 AM)
No, I think those are 5"/38 in single mounts. I believe that is a Bagley Class DD

oldman45 -> RE: Picture of a ship at the Brooklyn Navy Yard (1/28/2012 1:03:28 AM)
No, those are twin 5" mounts. I wish we could see behind that officer to see if the wing mounts are there.

Atlanta's has that row of distinctive round bridge portholes and tons of radar and antenna's. Might be the Atlanta. I believe she was built in Brooklyn (I can see the yard from work). Can't believe they sent these guys into knife fights in the slot, barley looks bigger than a destroyer. Guess you sent what you had

JohnDillworth -> RE: Picture of a ship at the Brooklyn Navy Yard (1/28/2012 2:04:21 AM)
Atlanta I think. Built in Kearny, NJ. Fitted out and commissioned in Brooklyn. [image]local://upfiles/31520/D6581E1D928B4E618F48B0DC056E4651.jpg[/image]

Indeed, it is the Atlanta, that is Margaret Mitchell in the middle. USS Atlanta

Grfin Zeppelin -> RE: Picture of a ship at the Brooklyn Navy Yard (1/28/2012 7:06:47 PM)
Hahaha nice catch.

Atlanta was the first USN warship commissioned after the attack. IMO the most beautiful ship class of the era.

DivePac88 -> RE: Picture of a ship at the Brooklyn Navy Yard (1/28/2012 8:45:51 PM)
Agreed with AW1Steve here about turret 3... The probable reason for this position; is for barrel cleaning (A good-old pull though). [;)]

There is a steam powered crane from behind him. And from the blackness of the smoke, I'll bet that it's coal fired.

[;)] You're right. I suppose his cover (What we former and current Naval types call a hat) could be on fire. [:D]

AW1Steve -> RE: Picture of a ship at the Brooklyn Navy Yard (1/29/2012 1:18:21 AM)
Notice the Admiral and his flag Lt. (with his cover poetentially on fire) . And the censor removing the RADAR from the picture.

I also notice that the flag Lt. has moved from his traditional formation position into the lead, presumably to detect treacherous ice conditions for his Admiral.

Warspite1 Yes, and as an added precaution the officer on the left has an ice-detection antenna protruding from his hat. I think that is where the Royal Navy went wrong in WWII. Their US counterparts took far more interest in milinary military potential.... Only real criticism is that the gentleman on the left should not have his hands in his pockets while walking on ice - health and safety and all that.

BrucePowers -> RE: Picture of a ship at the Brooklyn Navy Yard (1/30/2012 2:38:29 AM)
That hat is truly ugly.......

BrucePowers -> RE: Picture of a ship at the Brooklyn Navy Yard (1/30/2012 2:39:26 AM)
I don't think too much of the dress either but I am an engineer.

Grfin Zeppelin -> RE: Picture of a ship at the Brooklyn Navy Yard (1/30/2012 1:47:45 PM)
In gods name, the designer of this hat should be hanged for treason.

MateDow -> RE: Picture of a ship at the Brooklyn Navy Yard (1/30/2012 2:04:05 PM)
The picture appears pre-completion, although she is commissioned. She doesn't have her directors fitted. There should be a rangefinder mounted on top of the bridge and the director on a pedestal just forward of the mast. Her top masts weren't fitted either. I know that the US sometimes commissioned ships without all of its equipment. Some ships even ran trials without some of their guns. It is definitely the Atlanta based on the two-tone paint scheme and the shape of the hull where it meets the main deck. Here is a picture of Atlanta around the same time period, but with all of her top masts and directors fitted... [image]http://www.navsource.org/archives/04/051/0405111.jpg[/image] You can see the paint scheme and that "knuckle" at the main deck in that picture.

Here's another beauty, the USS Alaska (CB-1), taken on 30 July 1944 in the Philadelphia Naval Yard, barely a month after she had been commissioned. She was built in Camden, NJ by the New York Shipbuilding Corporation. [image]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ac/Uss_alaska_cb.jpg/736px-Uss_alaska_cb.jpg[/image]
