- USS Alabama (BB-60), a South Dakota-class battleship, was the sixth completed ship of the United States Navy named for the U.S. state of Alabama, however she was only the third commissioned ship with that name. Alabama was commissioned in 1942 and served in World War II in the Atlantic and Pacific theaters. She was decommissioned in 1947 and assigned to the reserve duty. She was retired in 1962. In 1964, Alabama was taken to Mobile Bay and opened as a museum ship the following year. The ship was added to the National Historic Landmark registry in 1986. Source

#28 Love the red heads with ink! The Alabama is beauty too.
A few years ago I remeber seeing a pin-up girl painted on the inside of a gun turrett.

Twenty four hours work to launch a battleship?!
I thought some fancy lady just broke a bottle and gave it a kick.

There's something very demonic about those old battle wagons.
As if they were born with a spirit to avenge Pearl Habor
it's cool
it's an hero..
