That's a pretty cool looking ship - no idea what her name is, but she looks to be built on an old dreadnought hull...

Ron Saueracker -> RE: WTFIT?! (11/20/2004 4:13:16 PM)
The old Kearsarge. Called AB-1.

You fast. Here's another view: [image]local://upfiles/10816/Ki185574323.jpg[/image] The revolving crane could lift more than 300 tons 100 feet from the centerline, and remain on an even keel. Interesting to see the large bulges here, added during her reconstruction to increase displacement and stability.

Look how huge those bulges are.... seems to me she needs to go on a diet.

Ron Saueracker -> RE: WTFIT?! (11/20/2004 11:03:52 PM)
I think she made it into the late 1950's before being scrapped....that's sixty + years of service. Pretty long.

Tankerace -> RE: WTFIT?! (11/21/2004 12:19:57 AM)
Yep. 1955 or 56 IIRC.

So, should she be included in the data base with the option of converting her back into a BB?[:'(]

RN Could have done with this ship last year to carry HMS Nottingham home from Wolfe Rock.
