Mystery ship

[niceguy2005]

What the heck, I was looking up a little info on naval guns and came across this (hopefully) non-discript photo. What ship is this.

Disclaimer: there are no rules to this game [:'(][;)]

I will tell you she was a ship in the Pacific theater.

[afspret]

Looks like the stern mounted 5/38 on a Casablanca class CVE, although which one I couldn't say. I say Casablanca class 'cause they were the only class with a squared off stern (Bogue & Charger had rounded sterns and Commencement Bay had two quad 40s on their stern).

[niceguy2005]

[Feinder]

That's one heck of a tide! [X(]

[Dixie]

It's not Cabot

[Feinder]

I saw the mud, and thought... New Orleans! What ship was tied up in New Orleans (later to be hit by a barge, then sold for scrap... Cabot).

Not Cabot aye?

Hm.

I don't know then.

Rats.

[niceguy2005]

What is that tower sticking up out of the ship...or is that in the background? Almost looks like an oil rig.

[Dixie]

That is part of the ship, it waan't a part of her original fit though.
