I can barely even see that, so if you can guess what it is you must be psychic or something. [:D]

I have other pics from the same scene however if need be.

It doesn't make any sense, Admiral. Were we better than the Japanese or just luckier?

Well, I thought that blurry pic of the Belgrano would confuse as well, but who knows given the people here.

I'll put a different, clearer pic up in a minute, but give it some time eh.

Can't be the Belgrano, unless the pic is reversed. The only pic I've seen of the Belgrano indicates she was torpedoed on the port side, as she was listing to that side. Besides, it don't look like a Brooklyn class light cruiser.

The other one was the Belgrano. Not sure if the top pic was reversed or not - and no, I didnt think she looked like a Brooklyn cruiser either, but i assume she was refitted?

Hence the trick question.
