<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1865King, post: 4909131, member: 103207&quot;]I stand corrected the USS New York wasn&#039;t a Nevada class battleship.&nbsp; But I doubt the USS New York is on the battleship note.&nbsp; If you compare the Nevada at time of launching to the note the Nevada had two anchors as shown on the bank note the New York had one.&nbsp; Both ships could be equipped with anchors the same way.&nbsp; Both ships were modified before WW 2 so you need to look at early pictures.&nbsp; The battle ship Texas also had two anchors same as the Nevada.&nbsp; I had a battleship note and gave it to my son who is a naval academy grad and presently works as a engineer for the US Navy.&nbsp; I asked him what ship he thought it was.&nbsp; He couldn&#039;t pin point a name but he didn&#039;t think it was the New York.&nbsp; His comment was why use the image of the New York when the Nevada was commissioned in 1916 as the United States first super dreadnaught battleship.&nbsp; The New York was an older design.&nbsp; The Texas is also from this time and that ship is still with us today.&nbsp; It&#039;s docked in Huston Texas.&nbsp; There is a great video on the history of the USS Nevada BB36.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
