ORIGINAL: mdiehl quote:
How mdiehl can come up with an all US lineup is beyond me... I forgot to include CBs. Throwing those in, Hood wins the blue ribbon in the CB category. Yamato is butt ugly. An ungainly, squat, dull-witted looking thing that looks like somone tipped a pile of office buildings onto a pointy-ended barge. And the German BB entries look like cubist art gone wrong; it makes it worse to know how wholly ineffectual and useless BMs secondary armament were for AAA. Function contributes to beauty in my view, and American ships combine compactness, function, parsimony, effectiveness and elegance. There are some appealing UK designs. But the thread asked for the best looking, not the runners-up, silver medalists, and those, like Yamato, that could only be competitive in a "special olympics" format. Wow,again,typical steakhouse opinions.
