Looks like BB Maryland or Colorado bombarding shore targets.




Capt Cliff -> RE: Name This...(332) (3/17/2005 9:05:12 PM)

She's got the old "wicker" tower aft of the funnel! Definately a BB. I'll say Arizonia for patriotic reasons.




Tiornu -> RE: Name This...(332) (3/17/2005 9:17:30 PM)

twin turret and stump cage mast. ron's got to be right.




panda124c -> RE: Name This...(332) (3/17/2005 9:44:20 PM)

USS Colorado or USS Maryland, color photo indicates late WWII, stump cage is one of these ships, two gun turrent. Ron's right, but which one I would think the color scheme would be the determining factor only I don't know which ship had which color scheme. Very likley they were different.




anarchyintheuk -> RE: Name This...(332) (3/17/2005 9:49:59 PM)

I bet those guys liked the old aft directors better than the refitted ones.

PeteG662 -> RE: Name This...(332) (3/17/2005 10:07:29 PM)

Those are twin turrets. The angle of the shot is making the far turret appear to be part of the near turret.




Lonewolfpj -> RE: Name This...(332) (3/17/2005 10:23:12 PM)

I could be abritish ship my something from the Royal Soverin class?




Tom Hunter -> RE: Name This...(332) (3/17/2005 11:29:05 PM)

No, only the Americans had cage masts like the one in the middle of the picture.

Beautiful shot.

I will add that in addition to being a US BB its also bad news for someone on the other end of that gunfire.




grossmetzger -> RE: Name This...(332) (3/17/2005 11:40:44 PM)

rogueusmc -> RE: Name This...(332) (3/19/2005 5:05:59 AM)

It would suck being level with that funnel opening though...[sm=nono.gif]




Brady -> RE: Name This...(332) (3/19/2005 6:08:00 AM)



USS Colorado, it is[:)]




Ron Saueracker -> RE: Name This...(332) (3/19/2005 6:08:03 AM)

Alikchi2 -> RE: Name This...(332) (3/19/2005 6:10:26 AM)

Is that Colorado? Gorgeous. The class looks so.. awkward from the in-game side icon.




Onime No Kyo -> RE: Name This...(332) (3/19/2005 8:39:17 AM)

It is awkward. This just happens to be the one esthetically pleasing angle. [:)]

For some reason I am sooo not a fan of US BB architecture. The fellas made beautiful CAs, but the BBs are dogs.




Ron Saueracker -> RE: Name This...(332) (3/19/2005 12:58:18 PM)

It's Maryland after her final refit in '45. Got this off Pry's NavSource site. The pic Brady used is there as well I think.

Tanker Ace's profiles do it justice, no longer looks so awkward. Not much you can do when you mix wicker and hardened steel though. Like Dennis Rodman.[8D]




Onime No Kyo -> RE: Name This...(332) (3/20/2005 3:18:42 AM)

I dont think poor Dennis has a good side. [:D]
