hey...
i know the frigate...hehe

but wat i mean is that there are no big guns or turrents

of course guns are not useful in these days anymore, but why not exchange the big guns with rocket turrents?

hey i don't know... but would anybody consider voting for Bismarck vs. Hood??? or at least the battle at DS, is one of the most interesting, controversial and i think the only clash between two 50000ton ships in WW2 (britain vs. germany) i would defiantly vote for it... miro ps: or the life of BS, a...

Hey to get a real result, we have to analyze the criteria of how we assess each battle. Do we use our personal opinion? or the amount of ships? importance to the world? personal genius of an admiral? decisivness of a battle? fairness of the battle? It would be great if we could analyze these battles...

hey

interesting stuff...
does anyone know,´if Napoleon has influenced Villeneuve in any way?

I just know that Villeneuve was under enormeous stress...
but why?

hey

what if would leave the nuclear power out.

miro

hey....

could someone please explain the forecastle concept

Im not really sure wat is meant by that term in english...

miro

hey

haha we have somethin in common...

for me, she and the Hood were just the most beautiful ships ever built

anyhow, she had a pretty successful career though
although she was a very 'wet' ship

why would some ppl call her the worst BB ever built?

hey...
yes i agree with that...
our beloved Bismarck...



miro

hmmm
its not really the topic...

but explain, wat do u like about the Scharnhorst??


miro

hey... there is this crazy idea i have... wat do u think about havin a battleship with for turrents with rocket loaders. with enough anti aircraft protection why couldn't the REAL ship take over the seas again i must say i really dislike the idea of an aircraft carrier being the biggest naval unit a...

hey... i think the Scharnhorst was just a really tragiv loss. The way the sailors repaired the engine room after the first encounter, to gain speed again, the way she fought against the weather and their superior enemies..was just great. Antonio, i also :clap: to the British commander. Respect for y...

hey...
yes im back...haha

anyhow. thanx for the reply...
although...
so U think that the reason for the British facts

miro

hey
i totally agree with that...

miro

hey... first of all...i want to thank gary for ur admiration of the Scharnhorst. I totally agree with that now...to the actual question: as ppl said, Kennedy could not have just run away, so his only chance was to fight. there was the little possibilty of hitting some crucial part on SC or GN if tha...

hey...
i might be wrong...
and its not really important in an naval battle
but doesn't the Hipper class have more AA guns than the County cruisers?
adios
