The Iron Duke class battleship HMS Marlborough during the 1920s. The Iron Dukes fired a 1,400 lb shell from their 13.5-inch guns rather than the 1,266 lb shell of the first 13.5-inch armed ships.
USS Iowa (BB-61) and the aircraft carrier USS Midway (CV-41) are surrounded by other ships of Battle Group Alpha while underway in formation, December 1, 1987.
USS Oakland (CL 95). 6,000 ton light cruiser, 32.5kns, 12 x 5" guns. Launched 1942, served in TG 58/38 throughout the war in several major engagements earning 9 battle stars.
Battleship #1 of the United States Navy- USS Indiana (BB-1). I love the curves on her superstructure, the massive, squat turret and the 13" guns, which are polished to a ridiculous shine.
Gangut / Oktyabrskaya Revolyutsiya, 1915. Russian/Soviet battleship. 4 x 3 12" guns, 24,800 tons, 24kns. Survived both wars, scrapped by 1958. Sister ship in the background is probably the Marat. Note the deployed torpedo nets (which most countries were phasing out by this time).
