ORIGINAL: warspite1 Kiss my bottom Yamato - fancy comparing war histories? - How 'bout ships sunk or major battles contested? no? Strike 1 - well what about hitting enemy battleships from range? No? Strike 2 - Okay, well let's try taking one for the team (well over thirty actually + mines, bombs and glider bombs) and still surviving to fight another day? Strike 3 [:)] Victory to the Grand Old Lady me thinks [&o] To be fair and since Yamato was commissioned December 18, 1941 you would have to compare the ships form that date forward. How about damage taken in a single attack? Strike 1 Warspite [:D] What was the longest range hit by Warspite? October 25, 1944 Yamato hit an American ship with her first savo at 20 miles [:)] Largest scale model of the warship. Strike 2 Warspite [:D] warspite1 To be fair, when she was commissioned has nothing to do with it. A ships history is what it is in the time allotted to her so no, you do not have to accept comparison from that day forward. If you do then USS Enterprises' combat record was no better than that of USS (insert name of any aircraft carrier commissioned right at the end of the war). Lets face it Extraneous, whichever way you slice it, whatever calculations you use, whatever rules you apply, the answer is exactly the same: HMS Warspite is the bestest battleship ever. FACT. And I'm not even biased [;)] [:D] Just yankin your chain [:D] warspite1 I know [:)] and I'm quite okay with that after all, all joking aside, at the end of the day, we both know HMS Warspite [&o] would have sent Yamato, Iowa, Bismarck, Richelieu and Vittorio Veneto to the bottom of the sea had they met in anger; even 5 against 1 it would have been no contest [:D] And I'm not even biased [:D].
