Someone told me the nickname for the Nagato BBs was "The Pagoda" due to that big bridge tower.Wulf Corbett wrote:I was thinking more of the elaborate multi-level bridge structures of the older battleships & battlecruisers...Lowly Uhlan wrote:You mean those pagodas they have on deck?

The other ship was the New Jersey. It was next to the Essex-class Oriskany when I was there, circa 1976-78 (I'm just not sure of the year). Here is a photo I found on the net, showing the Missouri in 1976. Back in 1954, all four ships were active, and are seen in this photo of BATDIV2 (Battleship Division 2 for those here that aren't naval geeks, lol). Certainly an impressive photo of naval might.Chernobyl wrote:I've also visitied the MIghty Mo, while my ship was stationed at Bremerton. It and the Wisconsin (I think ) were tied up side by side, and you could go up and tour a portion of the starboard side, the surrender deck, and the foreward main deck around turret 1 and 2. There was very limited interior access but some, I think it was the captain's in-port cabin. I'll see if I can dig up some photos...!
