Ahh, it has a star.

Russian WW1 era battleship? I'm guessing it's a battleship because it has three guns. Cannot find a name for it though.

Ed. It could also be a battlecruiser...

Is it a German Battlecruiser? Perhaps the von der Tann?

Still havnt guessed the Jap one? I was going to say Kongo class but its hard to tell with the photo. For instance I cant see if its one stack or two and I cant see the rear turret. Its top heavy super structure sure looks like the Kongo however.

?? looked it up at google pictures. Dante Aligiere looks different. RipChord929, could you give me a link to that ship?

I think you are wrong. Shape is more like US ship.

You cant go by bridgeworks and mastheads... You have to go by Turret type, and Turret/Funnel placement...
Also by the side of the hull, cut of the bow...  Bridgeworks and mastheads changed often, with every refit...
The Funnels and triple turrets are the giveaway for that ship.. None other like it, only ship in class too...
