Pieter Bakels, (PBBAKs), sends us this walk-around filled with detailed images of the USS Iowa, (BB-61), taken in 1985, while in port at Kiel Naval Harbor, Germany.
There are many up close images of key elements of the vessel, which makes for a great photo account for the ship modeler.
Thanks, Pete!

Awesome photos. A lot of good reference shots there.

(I wish there were more of the 5" mounts.)

Those were really great shots. Stuff like that shows you how huge some of the ships are.
