Default Re: Name This Naval Vessel 2
It is South Dakota. The immediate give away is that there are only four 5"/38 turrets per side due to the inclusion of a flag suite on the ship. The second is the gallery of 20mm on #2 turret. Normally, that position had a quad 40mm on it. The photo is an early 1942 one of the ship as she does not yet have the full late war festooning of 40mm and 20mm AA guns.
