Chris Aloha Chris, These photos are from WWII in the PTO. It may be either the Maryland or West Virginia after being raised from the muck in Pearl Harbor and modernized. Though it may also be the Colorado. All of the Colorado class battleships were stricken in 1947 prior to the Korean War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
