Pick the ship

Probably a pretty easy one, but it's a cool pic.

Yeah, I know she's already appeared in this thread, but the rules don't say anything about that and she's way better looking like this, so...

Nagato class before 1930's reconstruction?

Nope.

Nothing wrong with repeat ships if the pics are good (and top posting of George Averof before James) . Is it an Italian ship?

Nice idea, but no, it ain't Italian.

There sure are a lot of battleships with 4 turrets and 2 funnels

True, but the ship in question wasn't a classed as a battleship.

The funnels don't look right for the Hood.

Apparently it's a painting of Lexington if it were completed as a battlecruiser, not an actual photograph.

Yep, it is indeed the final design of the CC-1 Lexington.

Does anyone know if the portholes (windows) should be there at all or the artist put dots everywhere because he thought leaving it all white would boring? IMO that just looks stupid and compromises the ship's defence.

And the spacing of them is just erratic, leading me to believe that it's a poorly edited photo or painting. Since it's said that the ship appeared already, I looked for a converted BB/BC.

This ship's WW2 service was not with the nation that constructed it.

I imagine there is a degree of artistic license with the exactly number and placement, but WW1 and prior dreadnoughts did often have a lot of portholes. Have a look at the image of HMS Canada/Almirante Latorre I posted a couple of pages back.

And yeah, there are a few clues there that it wasn't a photo. The cutaway showing the interior of the aft funnel should've given something away.

Looks like one of the British destroyer leaders. Admiralty class perhaps? Probably given to one of the Dominions based on your clue.

HMAS Stuart

HMAS Stuart

Aye, I'd say a Scott class flotilla leader as well, and Stuart was the only one not to serve with the RN. Here's another one, from the web so no cheating and image searching . The clue is that (as far as I know, but am pretty sure) this was the first vessel in this class built by the nation that put it together.

HMAS Castlemaine, Bathurst Class Corvette, in the Alfred Graving Dock in Williamstown

HMAS Castlemaine, Bathurst Class Corvette, in the Alfred Graving Dock in Williamstown

Unless the internet's playing funny buggers on me, that shouldn't be Castlemaine, and it shouldn't be Williamstown. It looks a tad big for a Bathurst class corvette though, the angle of the shot makes it a bit tricky to compare, but the mast on the vessel looks a tad large and elaborate for a corvette. Not a bad guess though .

HMAS Adelaide in dookyards at Cockatoo Islands

picture seems to be from around the 1920's, no wonder since it was also nicknamed the "HMAS Long Delayed" (laid down in 1915)

its a light cruiser of some sorts.

That's the one, well deduced . It was indeed a light cruiser, and comfortably the largest warship Australia had made up to that time.

Here's another battleship (I don't think that's giving too much away!) - this one (like more than a few) met it's end as a result of aerial attack....
