Respectfully, I really dislike that top painting. The cruiser represented at the top is NOT the USS Juneau, which was an Atlanta-class light anti-aircraft cruiser (so had three dual 5” turrets forward, rather than the two triple 8” turrets shown on the ship in the painting).

I don’t know who created that tribute to these brave boys but I’m sure we all forgive him or her for that technical error.
Thanks for the information.

I hate to be picky but I noticed that too. Assuming that this is depicting the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, the ship in the painting is USS SAN FRANCISCO (CA-38).
