With a top speed of 33 knots, she earnt the name Fast Battleship, as the Iowa class to which she belonged were known.

Although one of the kamikazes did get through the curtain of shell fire, little damage was sustained. Signed limited edition of 1150 prints. Image size 25 inches x 15 inches (64cm x 38cm)
