USS Alabama (interior shots)


One of three bridges I found for controlling the ship.


Note the size of the large shell. Each shell weighs over 2700 pounds with about 50 pounds of explosives (kenetic energy does the rest). The shells can be fired accurately for over 20 miles.

 

Dining hall.



Sleeping quarters for enlisted crew.


Barber Shop



The brig



Officer's quarters



Quarters for the ship's captain




Pharmacy

Looks to me like the only bunk worth sitting on was the captain's! Glad I didn't have to serve on one of those ships!
