The image is a black and white photograph of a large battleship on the water. The ship appears to be a battleship, as there are several large smokestacks on the deck and a flagpole on the right side of the ship. The sky is overcast and the water is choppy, with small waves visible on the surface. In the background, there are other ships and boats on the horizon. The photograph is taken from a distance, and the ship is the focal point of the image.
