Does it have anything to do with all the people standing outside on the superstructure. Seems like a suspect place to be with all that fire and smoke.

Wait, that looks like a tripod mast from WW2 cruisers or older BB's like Arizona.

Looks like the main director is looking the other way...Something interesting on the horizion?

I'll give some hint here.
This being a big promo shot that was sold as a poster was really embarrassing to main battery fire control types (like me) because all the other Iowa class main battery types would look at this picture and laugh.
But not having the original photo makes it less obvious than it was in reality.
Well, there appears to be some sort of screen or something in the foretop (spot 1 position?) beneath the main director. Was it put up to keep the sun off or the smoke out or something? i don't see it in the other Wisconsin (after refit photo)...
BTW - what was that thing seen on top of turret 2 (the outhouse looking thing)?

The turrets arn't pink-geesh.

So - what is happening here? No replies to our questions (or at least mine)... was that thing in the foretop abnormal? What is the portapotty/outhouse thing on top of turret 2?
