The world is full of objects that I don't know what it is or what function it served.

Is it a device for releasing depth charges? That's what it reminds me of, but I may be wrong.

That isn't it, I thought the same thing when I first saw it and had to ask someone.

Another Mystery Object. Do you know what function this served?
It is the drawn reciprocating dingle arm which is necessary for a forescent score motion. This actually the first one I have ever seen

Which BB do you think? I've toured both the ones I mentioned, but don't recall very much about the float plane cats. I'm fairly certain that the Iowas would have had them removed for their last tours of duty.
