Notice the Admiral and his flag Lt. (with his cover poetentially on fire) . And the censor removing the RADAR from the picture.

I also notice that the flag Lt. has moved from his traditional formation position into the lead, presumably to detect treacherous ice conditions for his Admiral.

Yes, and as an added precaution the officer on the left has an ice-detection antenna protruding from his hat.

I think that is where the Royal Navy went wrong in WWII. Their US counterparts took far more interest in milinary military potential....

Only real criticism is that the gentleman on the left should not have his hands in his pockets while walking on ice - health and safety and all that.

I don't think too much of the dress either but I am an engineer.

The picture appears pre-completion, although she is commissioned. She doesn't have her directors fitted. There should be a rangefinder mounted on top of the bridge and the director on a pedestal just forward of the mast. Her top masts weren't fitted either.

I know that the US sometimes commissioned ships without all of its equipment. Some ships even ran trials without some of their guns.

It is definitely the Atlanta based on the two-tone paint scheme and the shape of the hull where it meets the main deck.

Here is a picture of Atlanta around the same time period, but with all of her top masts and directors fitted...

You can see the paint scheme and that "knuckle" at the main deck in that picture.

Here's another beauty, the USS Alaska (CB-1), taken on 30 July 1944 in the Philadelphia Naval Yard, barely a month after she had been commissioned. She was built in Camden, NJ by the New York Shipbuilding Corporation.

Dunno but German and U.S. WW2 ships(exept Saratoga/Lexington) look all boring and all the same to me. British and Japanese ships on the other side look way more unique to me.

Italian ships tended to look sleek and pretty, and French ships...fast..and very fragile.

I think you mean "squid" as that is the slang for a sailor. And who in God's name would ever think that sailors are "normal people" to begin with????

I agree with both of these sentiments. The ships designed to operate in the Med tended to be fast, sleek looking vessels.

Now that (USS Alaska) was a beautiful ship. IMO, the most visually appealing class in the USN (though it would have been prettier without that AAA mount on the bow).
