    Correct. USS Seattle IX-39 formerly USS Washington ACR-11. Photo taken during WWII when she was serving as a receiving ship in New York, the last Armored Cruiser in service with the US Navy.

    Name the Famous nick name of this ship,
    Lights out! And a prow turned toward the South,
    And a canvas hiding each cannon's mouth
    And a ship like a silent ghost released
    Is seeking her sister ships in the East.
    When your boys shall ask what the guns are for,
    Then tell them the tale of the ??????? war,
    And the breathless millions that looked upon
    The matchless race of the ______.
    Hope its not to hard and not to easy.
    And now the Race to the next Questioneer:whistling:
