<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 425004, member: 5233&quot;]I love that Battleship $2 note.&nbsp; Those have always been one of my favorites.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>One of my interests has always been military technology, and when it comes to the Navy I have always had a deep love for battleships.&nbsp; Here is what I see on this note.&nbsp; First, due to the age of the note I assumed the ship pictured was a pre-WWI class of battleship.&nbsp; Plus, the appearance of the ship indicated that.&nbsp; There are 2 forward facing gun turrets towards the bow of the ship just in front of the bridge.&nbsp; The ship has 2 stacks as well as 2 masts.&nbsp; So, the only type of American battleship that I know of that fits all those characterists is a Kearsarge Class Battleship.</p><p><br /></p><p>There were 2 Kearsarge Class Battleship&#039;s built.&nbsp; The first was the USS Kearsarge (BB-5) and the second was the USS Kentucky (BB-6).&nbsp; So, I assume the ship on the note is one of those.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
