It looks like a reflection of the bow wave to me. Maybe it is caused by the ambient occlusion map.

I think you should abandon the hull number. I’m not sure but I believe they didn’t have these numbers during World War Two.



And if then the number was rather small.



As far as I know all Iowa class battleships had a camouflage pattern during the war. So you may want to use one.
See here: http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/sh-co-mk/camouflg/usn-wwii/3--bb3.htm
or here: http://www.shipcamouflage.com/usn_bb.htm

If you want to keep the camouflage to a minimum you may want to consider Measure 22.




Then you have both: A rather clean ship and still a historical accurate appearance.

Then I want suggest to use a high resolution for the textures like 2048x2048. Then you can implement amazing amounts of details. Have a look at OakGroove high res textures for the Deutschland class CA.
I don’t know much about American battleships but the portholes look a bit blank being just a black hole. You may want to add hatches and channels, at least on the structure.

Well just what I think.
