Man, I'm not sure, but that picture almost looks fake. I had to take another look at it. For some reason, to me, the water doesn't look right... almost too real. Like the ship was digitally put on top of that water. Maybe its just because the smoke looks so grainy/blurry and that wake at the very bottom looks so incredibly clear. Cool pic though, can't wait to hear the answer =)

Dutch Tromp class cruiser, the Hr. Ms. Tromp

Look at the structure at the step down of the hull.
