I am most certain it is the USS Missouri in 1944.

OK, makes sense. Last one I saw was the one on the USS Alabama, and it has the wrong floats.

I assume that's a colorized version of the above, very well done. I just wish it's performance was a good a its looks were, but its engines were crap, and I doh't think they wanted to spend the effort of correcting it.

Sure is cool though. 4 20mm, nice. Would've been a decent interceptor of bombers. Just a little late I guess.
