    This ship had a very interesting and innovative main battery of cannons. She gave inspiration to a fleet during a heavy defeat, and not even two large bombs could sink her. What ship am I describing?

    Sorry Beaver, but the ship I am thinking of is an allied ship. But you are thinking of the right type of ship(battleship).;):);):);)

    The Arkansas was launched into the sky by Test Able (the first test) [edit-Baker... Second Test... Whoops] in Operation Crossroads;):);):);).

    In other words, she did not survive the bombs.;):);):);)

    The ship I described was at Operation Crossroads as a target ship.
