The picture is backward!!!

The extendable arm, coaxial MG and access hatch are on the wrong side.

Bingo. Got it in one. Crack a cool one.

[hormel26c]

Am cracking now.... what's this thing banging around in my can of Guiness?

Didn't taste too good

Kingfisher?

[SprCForr]

Cigarette butt? Or a bug? Yum, extra protein.

OK, try this one too. I apologize for the crappy pic. I "never was" any kind of a photographer.

Right on Fred! Kingfisher OS2U-3 manufactured by Vought.

The plane was a two seater and in common use with the USN. It did however, have a serious lack of power. It had long legs and was useful looking for downed fliers. Eddie Rickenbacker was rescued by one of these when the B-17 in which he was a passenger was shot down. The Kingfisher taxied for over 40 miles in rough seas with the survivors of the B-17 hanging on to the wings.

Sapper is that the Iowa class battel ship (USS New Jerssy, USS Iowa, USS Missurri, & one more that I can't remember)

A hull shot would have been a bit better

[-Mario-]

I am working on that ship right now... WW2, I assume...

I the mean time try this easy one...

Nope, look closer. It's a crappy pic but usable. I did provide a lead.
And yes, Mario, it is WWII era. Again, sorry for the quality.

The only WW II battle ship that I can think that "never was" was the USS Kentucky & the USS Illonois (both are of the Iowa Class Battle Ship) Niether never left the ship yard and were never finished. Also Niether fit the profile of the hull shot

[Gunbunny]

IT'S the Montana II Class

[hormel26c]

SprCForr -- I'll have to look through some deck plans, because that is one the "never builts". The 4 gun turrets make it a cruiser and the hull flare makes it American.

Mario -- That is a Canadair CL-84 Dynavert Tilt Wing

[hormel26c]

Actually, I'll go with dwaters on the ship. It's a Montana BB. Program was cancelled in 1943 and the ships were never completed.
