Vintage photographs of battleships, battlecruisers and cruisers.

To go directly to photos of a specific ship, simply enter her name in the search window (little white space) at the upper left. Ditto for a type of warship, country, year, etc..., e.g. battlecruiser. You can click on an individual photograph to view it alone against a dark background. When you want to go back to the page, just click outside the picture. Please note that I resize, denoise/despeckle/descratch and generally crop the photos to show mostly the ship itself in the space available.

Battleship USS Iowa entering floating dry-dock ABSD-2 at Manus Island, Bismarck Archipelago (Papua New Guinea), December 28th 1944.

Notice how her dual-purpose secondary armament can aim almost at the zenith to tackle not only surface threats but also high-level bombing.
