As it stood in 1927
The shape it held in its prime.
A very low‑profile steel battleship 709 ft long with all three massive 16‑inch gun turrets clustered forward of a large boxy amidships superstructure and a single funnel. Smooth flush deck lines, rows of portholes, heavy riveted armour plates on turret faces, ship’s boats and davits along the boat deck, a small crane for a seaplane amidships, and an overall naval grey paint finish; scale shown by ranks of crew on deck.
