Identification note: The ship in this photograph has long
been identified as USS Illinois
(Battleship # 7). However, it is actually Alabama
beyond any doubt, for the following reasons: It is probable that this photograph and Photo # NH 60570 were taken at the same time, and that their identifications were reversed at that time, with the error persisting for decades. |
