are you sure this is the oregon? it looks familiar and I believe it may actually be the Calhoun. Note the hogging trusses added to distribute the additional weight of heavy guns on the deck. You also see a similar depiction of the former Florida as converted into a gunboat at Mobile. She also required a hogging truss.
