Or, there is the simple nemonic (memory device) that the US Office of Naval Intelligence used in their recognition manuals during WW 2:

A reference to the towering "pagaoda" bridge structure.

Nice profiles nimitz, excellent detail. I'd like to see more if you have them. If you like you can use the attach function and save yourself the trouble of hosting the files somehwere else.

Oh, and welcome to the WWII Forums!
