Identification note: The ship in this photograph has long
been identified as USS Alabama
(Battleship # 8). However, it is without doubt actually Illinois, for the
following reasons: It is probable that this photograph and Photo # 19-N-1-11-3 were taken at the same time, and that their identifications were reversed at that time, with the error persisting for decades. |
