Title: Pics of the Battleship South Dakota
Post by: GtoRA2 on October 11, 2005, 09:49:37 PM

Pics of the Battleship South Dakota after the battle were her and the Battleship Washington took on the Japanese Battlehsip Kirishima of Guadalcanal on Nov 14 and 15 1942?

I read she took a real beating but have never seen any pictures of the damage.

Anyone know of a book or a website?

On a recent trip to S.D. I went to Sioux Falls to visit the memorial museum for Battleship X (South Dakota). Pretty unique setup and very enjoyable.

I've always liked the way those short-hull battleships look.
