Popis:

The Indiana (BB-58) & Iowa (BB-61) underway, possibly during the Marshall Islands Campaign.

This 1944 photo shows Iowa in her anti-submarine camouflage measure, applied in December or in early January 1944 with Navy Blue (5-N) and Light Grey (5-L) and Deck Blue (20-B) horizontal surfaces. Highly visible in this view are the fine foreward hull lines for a higher speed than the preceding South Dakota-class battleships. Consequently her #1 turret had little depth for torpedo protection.

Note the 20mm gallery atop #2 turret.
