    "US Navy airship USS Los Angeles (ZR-3), moored to fleet oiler USS Patoka (AO-9) off of Panama, during Fleet Problem XII. USS Lexington (CV-2) and an unknown Battleship can also be seen." (Not sure that's a BB. ?)

    Texas, New York, Arkansas, Wyoming, are all possibilities.

    It's a BB, just not sure on which one.

    How tough was they? Check just at the waterline where it is about to go out of frame. Little "gift" from the Rebs.

    In 1954, U-505 was donated to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, Illinois. She is now one of four German World War II U-boats that survive as museum ships, and just one of two Type IXCs still in existence with U-534.

    I got to climb around it back in the 60's while on a grade school field trip. It was so long ago I don't remember if I made it inside the hatch or not. I do remember it was outside then and the cold Chicago Chinook winds made the day "interesting" !

    The guns on Dreadnought would have produced a much larger fireball. If the wing turrets were fired dead ahead that fireball would have engaged the bridge.

    A example of 'Tumblehome' design theory. It was supposed to add stability by reducing top weight on warships but actually made it worse if it took any under water damage which warships are prone to do.
