Hi John, with the SX40 I could have zoomed into 840mm (FFE) for ship detail and have on occasion. Unfortunately, I haven't yet got a zoomed-in broadside ship image that I felt was worthy to present before this fine group of viewers!
On the other hand, I have photographed
exterior portions of this ship from other viewpoints. If you take a look at the bolded link you may just be able to see what part of this ship was involved.
