Folks on the site were guessing Belgrano at first, but quickly came to
conclusion that it's another vessel..

Can't be the Belgrano. She sank in deep water, people had to get into
life rafts.

I doubt anybody would have bothered with land so close ;-)

Also, the disturbance in the water appears to be caused by the bow. The
Belgrano lost hers with the first Torpedo hit.

Crossposted to SMN, maybe somebody recognizes her. Looks like a WW2-
vintage cruiser, and from the shape of the bridge and turrets I'd
hazard that it's either from the Royal Navy or US Navy... but who am I
to judge ;-)


Dunno - I get the distinct feeling it couldd be a Russian. That gun
director astern looks like something you got on a Sverdlov class...
