Is it a South Dakota class BB? The North Carolinas had two funnels, but both classes were very similar, 35,000 tons displacement and 9 16" guns.

Cool Re: Name this Naval Vessel
USS Alabama, or Massachusetts, BB's 60 & 59 in the same order. South Dakota and Indiana, BB's 57 & 58, were sold for scrap.
Looks more like Alabama to me, since shore property along the "Cape" is pricey (to say the least).

It is a beautiful ship, The USS Alabama, BB60, docked as a permanent memorial in Mobile* Bay, Alabama.

Also there is the USS Drum, a Gato-class submarine. It was finally beached a few years ago because the hull was rusting out in the salt water of the bay.

*Mobile is derived from French and is pronounced like this, although we in Alabama put a bit more flavor in the pronuciation than does the woman in the link.
