I'm stumped on that one. US style twin 5" mounts, US type fire director, two twin main gun turrets aft? I don't think there was any US ship like that. French?
And why is there a blown-up DUKW on the fantail?

USS Nevada. Hobot's picture captures her between the Able and Baker nuke tests. She survived them both, and was finally expended in a live fire exercise.

Quite a war horse, two World Wars, the Pearl Harbor Attack, and two nukings.

OK, thanks. I had thought the #4 (or "Y") turret had just two gun barrels but now on looking closer, it looks like 3.
