Description
Created and posted back in 2005.
USS Kidd (DD-661), a Fletcher-class destroyer, was the first ship of the United States Navy to be named after Rear Admiral Isaac C. Kidd, who died on the bridge of his flagship USS Arizona during the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Admiral Kidd was the first US flag officer to die during World War II, and the first American admiral ever to be killed in action. A National Historic Landmark, she is now a museum ship, berthed on the Mississippi River in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

another of your moody, surreal and yet very vivid renders of boats at sea.

Great pinks. And the mist is wonderful. It has the feeling of a ghost ship in all its dignity, against a dawn sky. The fact that it's based on the famous Kidd makes it all the more touching. Such a moody transcendent image, Harry...
