    No, It saw action in the early days of the war in the ETO for one of the combatants there.

    pre-dreadnought, Deutschland class, either Deutschland, Pommern, Hannover, and most probably, Schleswig-Holstein.
    She did open fire on Danzig, Poland.

    funny Jeff I've posted the ship before as it is in my collection...

    in this case in 1945 it is the Linienschiff Schleßien, when it was doing Flak ship duties against the Soviet A/C in the Baltic. I own a very very rare Mützenband (cap Tally) from one of her shipmates

    Okay, Erich.

    Here's one.

    In her heyday, what was this old girl better known as? Apologies about the picture quality, it was the best I could do. Terry, PM your answer to me, you probably know what she is.

    Yes Hawk. You have to answer the question to get to ask the next.

    Hint: This an old US battleship that was used in WWII but not as a battleship.
