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...


sry, but both ships look totally different. Look at the mastheads and turrets. Your first pic shows a ship that comes very close to US type pre WWII warship. Italien ships never had such kind of mastheads.

But....maybe I am just old and blind... :D

Am I to assume that we are sticking with Battleships, regardless of era...?

Think I'm gonna back off, let some others take a few swings at em....

Enjoying this tho!!!  Wish we had some Naval action in the game... It would add a WHOLE new aspect!!!

WTG Milo!!!  Got the extra points too!!  IJN Mutsu... First ships in the world to mount 16in guns!!

Nagato was the first, Maryland second and Mutsu was the third battleship with 16" guns to be commissioned. However, the Maryland was the first to be laid down (begin construction).

Commissioning dates...
Nagato: 11/15/1920
Maryland: 7/21/1921
Mutsu: 10/24/1921
