Conning Tower of USS Oklahoma (BB-37)

Conning Tower of USS Oklahoma (BB-37)

Here we see the conning tower and signal bridge areas of the Nevada class battleship USS Oklahoma (BB-37) in the early 1930s. This also gives us a view of the two levels of 5in guns, with the lower level in casemates and the upper level in the open. Between the two upper guns is a standard 3in gun, which was for use by landing parties and was presumably normally stored in the dark space just behind it.
