    USS Texas in 1943

    “He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”

      I've seen this picture in color. It is beyond stunning. This is USS New Jersey

        USS Nevada in the foreground and Texas in the background.
        You know, sooner or later, the Admin boys are going to shoot me for posting so many pictures:ermm

            So what happens when you use a nuke against a battleship? Not much....although she does glow in the dark for the next 200 years. Here is USS New York after the Bikini Atoll atomic tests.

                USS Missouri again. There's not too many problems in the world that can't be solved by a 16-inch broadside.

                  Not the clearest picture in the world. Here is USS Wisconsin next to the hulk of USS Oklahoma. It really shows off the size of the Iowas compared to the earlier battleships.

                    Damn, that website has some nice pics. I'm just curious as to why there's a Phantom at the entrance and planes and tanks right next to the ships.

                      Well it's a whole "park" dedicated to all branches of the military. Remember that the Intrepid has all of those things, though not as many tanks of course.
                      The Alabama park also has a large air-conditioned hanger with, among other things, an SR-71 Blackbird and a Navy PBR!

                        The Intrepid only has AAA/SAM (I'm pretty sure) and the Intrepids name is the Intrepid Sea Air and Space Museum

                          Yes, that is the full name :)
                          The Intrepid also has an Iraqi T-72 and an old Patton right next to a huge slab of the Berlin Wall. I'll dig out that picture and post it when I get a chance.

                            Wow, you know just about as much relevant information as I know irrelevant, useless information. (Which is quite alot, I guarantee you...)

                              Well, I've been to the Intrepid as well, with that Jewish lady friend I've mentioned :)
