No rest for the weary.. once you've got this one solved, how about tackling the one on the opposite side of the anchorage.
That looks to me like a carrier- an old one, but a carrier. There is a 12 on the bow, but it isn't the USS Hornet- not long enough, and the Hornet is sitting at Alameda Point.
That isn't CV 21 either-- the USS Boxer was scrapped back in '71, and this one isn;t long enough anyway by about 300 feet (3.4 million snots?).

Given that starting point, I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of factual presentations on how dangerous (global warming) is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are..." -former Vice President Al Gore, Grist Magazine, May 9, 2006
Thanks, though, to Loracle, Joracle, and all others who took on the search. I think the collective psi waves probably helped me look in the right places.
Now that I know what I'm looking for, here's the USS Salem, CA-139, a sister ship of the Daisy Mae (Des Moines) that caused me all those sleepless nights.
Identifiable by its shape and length (715 feet, plus or minus a centi-Smoot) here looks to be the hull of yet another Heavy Cruiser. Looks stripped of most superstructure and armament, but still an impressive ship.
All that time googling aircraft carriers, and never once thought of that..

Found it. It's the LPH / MCS-12 Inchon. Iwo Jima Class Amphibious Assault Ship (Helicopter) / Inchon Class Mine Countermeasures Command and Support Ship
