My Conways All the Worlds Fighting Ship's 1922-1946 clearly identifys the above pick as a New Mexico Class, howeaver My source for the Pic my well be in Eror, it show it is the New Mexico, but it was also a web source, I have more faith in books for solid referances, espichaly Conways, While it is clear that it is a New Mexico Class in My book I cant be shure it is the New Mexico or the Mississippi, so I will difer to your referance hear, and say it is the Mississippi, which would be in keeping with the Seagull and upperworks for a 1934 vintage pick.
