Description:
A Illinois class Battleship pre WW1, somewhere in Asia. I suspect it is USS Wisconsin BB-9 . Purchased 40 years ago together with other photos of a US Asian dockyard. Any thoughts appreciated!
There is no Ship Data available for this photo!
Would you like to suggest new Ship Data?
This ship is not assigned to any other category.

Please compare the stern and funnels at Navsource.org: http://www.navsource.org/archives/01/03bbidx.htm
BB-7 "Illinois" - the name looked shorter between aftermost portholes and funnels had different tops:

BB-8 "Alabama" did not have those portholes at all:

BB-9 "Wisconsin" seems to match.
