Sinking of the USS Alabama, February 2004

Since she was commissioned at the January 2001 Nationals in Bowning, NSW, the USS Alabama has been sunk more than 20 times. She is not one to back off.

This time she took on RMS Imperio (Ashley Head) and USS South Dakota (Alan Husen) in Sydney. While she can sometimes take out both of them by herself, this was not one of those times.

Note in the first picture how evenly Alabama settles. She is still fully under control at this point, though prone to roll over if she maneuvers violently, as the following shots show.
