The Battleship New York.



After the Maine and the Texas, "First Class Battleships" were assigned hull numbers, with the Indiana being BB1 and the Wisconsin, the last American battleship completed, being BB64.
There were two Wisconsins, the first was built in the 1890's, designated BB9.
There were also two New Jersey's, BB16 and BB62.
One of the few ships to serve in WW1 and WW2, BB34, the Battleship New York, was launched in the early 1910's. As you can see, early battleships, at full speed, wern't terribly enviro-friendly!
As you can imagine, BB34 wouldn't have a snowball's chance, one on one, against BB62.
She coundn't even run away! BB34's top speed was 17 knots, BB62 topped out at 35 knots!





Here she's dead in the water.
She was used in several Bikini A-tests, and even though NYC wanted to make her an exhibit, she was way too radioactive.
She was sunk in the Pacific.
