I am going to say the Horst Wessel which became the U.S. Coast Guard Barque Eagle (WIX-327).

What is the monument in the back ground?
Lets start with the flag. It looks like a spanish flag to me. But the Spanish navies training ship isnt rigged like that. That monument looks kind of spanish too. Dont know why.

Yes it does look like the Statsraad Lehmkuhl (former schoolship "Grossherzog Friedrich August" of the German mercheant navy).

I don't know, maybe.  Portholes don't look big enough and no trim down the side of the freeboard above those portholes.

Now, the Iowa-class, THAT was a ship.
