Beautiful photo - almost as though she's playing peek-a-boo over the edge of the dry dock! And old she is, but probably still able to give a dreadful bite! It would be fun to visit her and compare development and similarities in construction with the USS Alabama. The US is the only country with any battleships left. A salute to those who care to preserve our old veterans. Thanks again for the photo! Keep up the good work! :-)

Now this is impressive Rog! Sorry I'm so late.. So many comments tom catch on.. When these girls fired a broadside they moved sideways! And the noise must have been beyond ear shattering! Great shot.. Rob
