I’m not sure what you’re communicating, but it would be proper to take this down out of the pic community and put it up in one of the various meme communities or somewhere else it fits.

This is not a photograph, which makes it the wrong community for this post.

Ok

Rare Pepes? In this meme economy?!

This appears to be a photoshop of the Old Trace sign, with the oldest posting coming from Reddit’s politicalhumor community.

I don’t think allowing photoshopped images in a community intended for photographs is a great idea. There are already numerous communities here where the photoshop picture can get exposure without cutting into one of the few spaces for photographs.

Somewhere outside of Phoenix. I was driving and stopped to take a break. I don’t think it’s a named site.

Just good lighting.

I didn’t see the behind the scenes freezer locations. A good chunk of the ship was off limits for restoration.

There was a soda shop and ice cream parlor. I don’t remember about the ice cream, but the soda was an extra the sailors had to pay for out of pocket.

The card next to it didn’t have much information. I searched online for a little bit only finding that the artist has done numerous pieces with wood and stone like this. Similarly without deep explanations that I could find.

I actually enjoy not knowing the intent.

The algorithm that brought this photo to my eyes is. Maybe I’m jumping at shadows but the country music HURAH isn’t organic.

Who made the LW algorithm inorganically push propaganda that lines up with Trump’s agenda?

Or are you suggesting the upvotes themselves are fake? That rather than people simply being interested in the photo, that there are bots waiting to push the insides of a battleship because that translates into political gain?

I’ve already posted lots of military history that I’ve gone to the effort of traveling to see and document myself. I’ve posted this at whatever times I’ve had free to sort through it. Current news has never factored in to the timing of the posts. I am going to keep visiting historical sites and making posts about them. If you find a connection between historical sites and unrelated current events, that is out of my control.

Almost.

The cap (the “penetrative cap” as the above picture calls it) protects the hardened tip of the shell itself, so that the tip doesn’t deform immediately on impact with armor. Soft metal caps did exist and work, but hard metal caps became more common since the hard cap would survive a little bit longer and thus get the shell better positioned to penetrate by the cap hopefully going through the outer layer of armor before the tip on the shell came forward to penetrate the remaining armor.

You got me. Donald Trump personally paid me $20 to take photos of a WW2 battleship and specifically post it here on Lemmy to influence the userbase. He told me if he loses the Lemmy support then his whole plan falls apart.

I don’t know much about Helldivers, but the Wiki says their artillery are 360mm, which is closer to 14 inch shells. Slightly smaller than the thread pic. The right two here:

From what I see of screenshots, those sizes still seem inflated. Something like a 155mm would be closer to the proportions somebody could fit on their shoulder.
