I say it's KMS Lützow.

This apears to be 2 turrets each with 6-8" forward firing.

Not Portland either, she had a starboard astern torpedo hit. Maybe same/similar class.

Right ship, wrong time frame. That is still an all white paint job there, so that places this pre-war at least. Looking it up again, this is the damage the ship suffered in 1933 after being rammed by SS Silver Palm off Point Sur.

I spent more time on reading about her Captain at the time.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Silver Palm was relatively unscathed. Think Stockholm vs the Andrea Doria.
