    There's a typo in the LOC caption, this is SMS Ostfriesland, a Helgoland-class battleship of the Imperial German Navy.

    Ostfriesland would survive the war, only to be turned over to the United States as part of war reparations in April 1920. It is while in the United States that the Ostfriesland would gain its historical notoriety as a target ship, and be forever linked with air power proponent General Billy Mitchell.

    There is a typo, her name is Ostfriesland (SMS) An early German Dreadnought, she survived the war like most German battlewagons. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS_Ostfriesland

    Thanks for catching the typo and for the further information. We'll adjust the description when we update.

    BB=32, one of the many ships that took part in the Vera Cruz operations we have seen recently here. The markings on her stern seem to indicate she is under construction still in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, 1912. www.history.navy.mil/photos/sh-usn/usnsh-w/bb32.htm
