Oct 01, 2010 20:01 | #9 Thanks everyone.. CyberDyneSystems wrote in post #11017069 Amazing shots. The first is just perfect. I want to see one of these Iowa class battleships in person some day. Back in the mid 80's they had the USS Iowa's deck open to walk on here at the Norfolk Navy yard and it was very cool... Loved the 53,000 sq ft of teak deck. Take a trip down this way and tour the Wisconsin...

PhotosGuy Cream of the Crop, R.I.P.  More info | Oct 01, 2010 21:51 | #11 Good shots of it. shazza wrote in post #11017008 Excellent! I was wondering if boat photos went in this section - you answered that. I get hay haulers, tail lights without cars, train tracks without trains, plowing competitions, rowboats, prison barges, Ferris Wheels, dredgers, rafts in China, & squirrels on water skis too. Generally, if it moves & it's not in a race, it goes here. FrankC - 20D, RAW, Manual everything...

ForumForker Senior Member 690 posts Joined May 2006 More info | Oct 02, 2010 11:33 | #15 The first pic is really very nice indeed. This bow was originally built for the Kentucky. It was never finished due the the war ending in 1945. When the Wisconsin damaged her bow this one from the unfinished Kentucky was grafted onto her. Thus the nickname "Wisky". I would love to see her someday.
