This one will be a bit trickier to guess. Here is the ship! Hint #1: American Hint #2: Battleship Hint #3: Commissioned 1942 Hint #4: Four ships in class (Will add more of the photo as people start guessing) (+1 for those who guess correctly) Edited May 6, 2016 by Globemaster1998 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The name ship of the class is down the street from me. The problem is which one of them is it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
100 DeMatt Beta Testers 365 posts 12,391 battles Report post #4 Posted May 6, 2016 I'm gonna guess USS Alabama (BB-60), because of the Bofors mount on #2 turret, and because it's in colour, I'm gonna guess that the photo is from after she became a museum ship. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

5,661 Macabe Alpha Tester, Members, In AlfaTesters, Beta Testers 12,413 posts Report post #7 Posted May 6, 2016 My guess is New Jersey. I'm kinda split though. Could be Missouri. I don't think it's the Iowa or Wisconsin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

5,661 Macabe Alpha Tester, Members, In AlfaTesters, Beta Testers 12,413 posts Report post #9 Posted May 6, 2016 Those 5in guns though. That's not Iowa-class. South Dakota-Class. My final guess is USS Alabama. 5in gun configuration + that AA gun matches. Please excuse me while i go cry in a corner for getting the Iowa-class and South Dakota-class confused. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
33 Globemaster1998 Members 184 posts 4,030 battles Report post #10 Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) The answer is... The USS Alabama (BB-60) of the South Dakota-class Battleships. (Ran out of up-votes, will up vote those who guessed correctly tomorrow) Edited May 6, 2016 by Globemaster1998 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bridge is wrong for the Iowas, funnel is wrong for North Carolinas.

83 [TF16A] DanielLeary [TF16A] Members 506 posts 11,518 battles Report post #13 Posted May 6, 2016 Iowa? Definitely not, as the Iowa wasn't commissioned until 1943 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
