I got to serve with (not on) USS New Jersey ("Big J") - I was present when she first fired practice shots off San Clemente Island and also when she first fired in anger off the DMZ - both re her 1968 reactivation for Viet Nam. From a distance of a mile or two, she is very pretty. I also got to serve with (not on) USS Newport News - before she lost a gun in an explosion. She was flagship, Atlantic Fleet when I was there, and often was a fire support ship for exercises at Vieagus. Later, she went to Viet Nam (we did that together separately as it were) - and she set the all time record for heavy fire per unit time there. I regard both ships as beautiful. I suppose the Newport News is slightly prettier - being less "fat" - particularly from astern.

Best looking ship? There is no competition, the Kirov class Battlecruiser! The most powerful non aircraft carrier ever built! Pure class!

trojan58 -> RE: Somewhat OT - The most beautiful warship (in your opinion) (3/31/2006 3:05:11 AM)
For style and grace 1. Zara class CA's 2. Littorio class BB's 3 Agano class CL's for raw power 1. Yamato class 2. Iowa class

Mike Scholl -> RE: Somewhat OT - The most beautiful warship (in your opinion) (3/31/2006 6:05:14 AM)
For the WW I era, I like the German BC Hindenburg. Long clean lines gave her a much more modern look that most of her contemporarys For the WW II era, the Iowa's. Yamato's might have edged them out except for those goofy-looking armored hanger openings aft. The Iowa's "lines" are virtually perfect stem to stern with a wonderful balance and a look of speed. Though I still believe the SoDak's were the most "Battleship" looking BB's ever built,,,. squat and powerful and bristling with guns.

bradfordkay -> RE: Somewhat OT - The most beautiful warship (in your opinion) (3/31/2006 7:22:03 AM)
My choices, no pics... 1. Gneisenau/Scharnhorst WW2 2. Alaska/Guam 3. Bismark/Tirpitz 4. Hood (1919 form, not 1940) 5. Roma class WW2 non-dreadnought era ships? Kirov USS Constellation (the "Yankee Racehorse", not the carrier)

Iridium -> RE: Somewhat OT - The most beautiful warship (in your opinion) (3/31/2006 7:38:40 AM)

Iridium -> RE: Somewhat OT - The most beautiful warship (in your opinion) (3/31/2006 7:48:12 AM)
OK, for the modern era I choose Nimitz class, CVN Ronald Reagan in this case (using it's sprinkler system). [image]local://upfiles/16037/AC829E8CB08C4FC182A7755E0425BB62.jpg[/image]

quote: ORIGINAL: Speedy Fantastic picture[8D] Yeah it is. Unfortunately modern warships are boring and blaaaaaaa....they are missing a certain something.[:(] Like modern cars...almost all look the same and have no reason to be polluting our air. I'm OK with a classic, but not these wimpy little shopping carts on wheels that spew caca into the heavens.

Adnan Meshuggi -> RE: Somewhat OT - The most beautiful warship (in your opinion) (3/31/2006 1:53:56 PM)
1. Zara CA... 2. Prinz Eugen CA both are very near 3. Bismark-BB, i never liked the 3X3-System, 4x2 looks better 4. Hindenburg BC for the "old" times, the 74er-Class of the french... they are the "best" looking ships. The predreadnoughts (between 1900-1905) all have something... CVs... hm, here i love the Tahio... the yamato looks BIG... but as i mentioned, i dislike 3X3... the symmetrical 4x2 is my favourite...

You guys have got it all wrong. I am going with the canoe in LST's sig. I think it is the SS Hooters but positive ID is difficult since he rudely put type in the parts necessary for positive ID...
