Ladies and gentlemen... the USS Texas

New York-class dreadnought, served with distinction in both world wars. Now a museum ship but still seaworthy.

Inside or only on deck? Cool either way.

There is a same era ship (cruiser) in London, HMS Belfast, but really they are kinda boring

did these things have fire control systems or did they just aim and hope for the best? if it fought in wwi i'd imagine it was crazy outdated by the time wwii came around

>boring
I hope the spirit of Warspite rises from the depths and drowns you next time you get close to the sea.

The decking from Warspite is now in a hotel near where I live.

No Iowa class battleship has a tenth the SOVL that a New York class battleship has.
