toaster404 There is a band of material visible from amidships back that is perhaps separate from the main hull. Is this an anti-torpedo belt spaced out? I’m very curious. Have not noted anything like this.

shugerbooger What was the purpose of the large clock-like apparatus prominently displayed about halfway up the superstructure? At first I thought it was a clock (which would admittedly be odd at that location), but the numbering isn’t right for that.
