New Orleans class heavy cruiser, “San Francisco” in 1945?



paullus99 -> RE: Name This...(9) (3/18/2004 8:04:03 PM)

Actually, with the triple turrets - it looks like one of the CB Alaska-class Battlecruisers.

(DRAT......definitely too small to be an Alaska)! self-edit



mdiehl -> RE: Name This...(9) (3/18/2004 8:15:24 PM)

Drat, you beat me to the call. New Orleans class.

My official call: USS Quincy.



Mr.Frag -> RE: Name This...(9) (3/18/2004 8:38:11 PM)

And you wonder why the Navy screwed up now and then ... Try and read all those signal flags!



mogami -> RE: Name This...(9) (3/18/2004 8:47:53 PM)

Hi, It is the NO class Quincy CA-39 6 days before she was sunk. Photo taken from USS Wasp on 3 Aug 1942

USS Quincy CA-39 New Orleans class. Image taken at Auckland just before she sailed for Guadalcanal.



redman1 -> RE: Name This...(9) (3/18/2004 10:35:05 PM)

She was a Savo Island (Battle of) casualty, right?

Yes. She put up a better fight than most of the other ships (according to Frank) and was in a better state of readiness.

Just in case anyone is interested the Last known image of Quincy, spotlighted and under fire, She is on fire and down by the stern. Taken from a Japanese film shot during the action

Brady -> RE: Name This...(9) (3/19/2004 12:14:05 AM)

USS Quincy, it is:)


Normaly I dont give the answer till the next day but this one is so goten by now their is no point in waiting:)

From the Picture source:


"Photographed from USS Wasp (CV-7), at Noumea, New Caledonia, on the eve of the invasion of Guadalcanal, 3 August 1942. She was sunk six days later, during the Battle of Savo Island."

Cool Pic Pry!, I have never sean that before thanks for posting it.



redman1 -> RE: Name This...(9) (3/19/2004 12:19:13 AM)

Pry, that can't be the Quincy if the first photo was the Quincy. Where's the rear structure where all the flags are? Unless it was blown off . . .



madflava13 -> RE: Name This...(9) (3/19/2004 12:20:55 AM)

I was under the impression the action shot was of the Astoria, but I may be incorrect...



Brady -> RE: Name This...(9) (3/19/2004 1:40:19 AM)

Looks to me like the whole aft end is obscurd by smoke, I beelave that is why were not seaing the superstructure.



redman1 -> RE: Name This...(9) (3/19/2004 1:45:05 AM)

But Brady, you can see the hull line clearly. I think you can't see an aft superstructure because one is not there, at least when that photo was taken.



Brady -> RE: Name This...(9) (3/19/2004 2:08:52 AM)

Ture you can see the Hull line, I asumed the fire/smoke was on the deck and above howeaver, and was being blow aft by the wind, if the Hangers were afire then this would acount for the considerable amount of smoke. You can also see how some of the smoke is partialy obscureing even the after hull.
