    Prince of Wales shortly before being sunk at Singapore. Note the well weathered and intricate camoflauge applied.

    Terry asks that I post this picture for him.

    We all know (speak for yourself, Terry) this is a "Flower" class corvette. What makes this particular one unusual? For a bonus name the ship.

    Doesn't look WW 2 to me. Appears to be one of the SMS Derfflinger class battlecruisers of WW 1. Could be any of the three Derfflinger, Lützow, or Hindenburg but I can't tell which from the photo (size+blind = who knows).

    That is one confused-looking ship. Obviously American with the cage mast, but it also has a tripod mast at the stern. It almost looks like a battleship built on a destroyer budget, what with the destroyer armament and battleship look......

    Those are not the original turrets on this US ship. Although it never saw cambat, it is thought that it fired it's original guns more than any other US ship of it's type.

    Wow Jeff, I'm not sure. It is a confused looking ship as Tom pointed out. The hull looks to me like It could be the Wyoming class battleship. Though the pic I just looked at had a different mast than your pick the USS Wyoming did convert her 12" guns to 5"/38's late in 44 and was also used as a gunnery training ship which fits your descriptions so that is my guess.

    USS Wyoming after conversion to AG-17
