The big one looks like the upgraded Mossouri or another Iwoa-class.  I can see the white-domed shape of the Phalanx guns, as well as the aft AAA gun tubes.  The antenna masts also mark it as the upgraded version.  Don't know about the other one...a fig or a tin-can of some sort, taking on fuel from the BB.

No no no no, the REAL question is what are they doing, who is doing what, and who gets the bill when they are done?  BTW, that definately looks like the Iowa.  Or maybe it's the New Jersey.  No wait, it's the Missouri!!  Aww, hell, its Iowa-class anyway
