  • Mr.TinMD said:
    This is the armored cruiser USS New York (ACR-2), of Spanish-American War fame, later renamed the USS Saratoga, then the USS Rochester in 1917.
  • Ken Shanaberger said:
    This ship was commissioned as New York (ACR-2) in 1893. She was renamed Saratoga in 1911 to make the name New York available for BB-34. Her name was changed again to Rochester in 1917 to free the name for the cruiser CC-3 which was completed as the second US Navy aircraft carrier CV-3. Rochester was decommissioned in 1933 and remained moored in Subic Bay, Phillipines until she was scuttled in December 1941 to prevent her capture by Japanese forces.

    Ah, you got in before me, Mr. T!

    Quite cool, this ship supported the fight at the Battle of San Juan Hill, My great great grandfather fought in that battle. 1898 (Michael Deveny, 5th Infantry Division, Cuba-Battle of San Juan Hill)

Examining the gun on Almirante Oquendo

    I believe this ship is misidentified and is actually Vizcaya. Post-battle photos of Vizcaya on other sites show the fallen mast next to the aft turret, where non of the post-battlephotos of Ocendo show this feature.

    Thanks for adding to NPOI. Something very exotic about these wreck photos.
