warspite1 -> OT Beautiful Ships of WWII (12/2/2012 6:05:33 PM)
Lady and Gentlemen I know that, with 4-5 exceptions, the beauty contests over on the General Discussion forum have not been your bag. Fair enough. However, I hope I have something on offer that is more to the liking of the navy-knowledgable people here. Like the thread title says, I am looking for the most beautiful ships of WWII. The first category up for grabs is the most beautiful of the Fast Battleships. There are two groups of three, and I am looking for 1 vote per person in each group please. If you fancy it, please drop by the Australian Beauties thread and cast your vote. Note: we are talking aesthetics only here - not war record.

I think one should consider the Bismarck-Class to be amongst the top 5 ;) very nice lines... [image]http://www.secondworldwar.org.uk/bismarck/bismarck.jpg[/image]

Personally I vote for your avatar [;)] Would be good to have a few more voters.

Usually you hear about this one. [image]local://upfiles/37002/3A0A96D5507E4E51A258AF0BAC081517.jpg[/image]

geofflambert -> RE: OT Beautiful Ships of WWII (12/2/2012 6:50:18 PM)
I prefer this class, myself. [image]local://upfiles/37002/2FDE7F3E368F4E468634F9A0E0744D29.jpg[/image]

sprior -> RE: OT Beautiful Ships of WWII (12/2/2012 7:53:09 PM)
Bismark should be disqualified - just plain ugly.

Can I nominate HMS Vanguard, launched 1944? [image]local://upfiles/6847/8D6C99D82E0F4CAD8E4A24BAC44D5292.jpg[/image]

MAurelius -> RE: OT Beautiful Ships of WWII (12/2/2012 8:04:47 PM)
de gustibus non est disputandum.... but I do hope you vote for the looks - and not the history ;) - otherwise Bismarck would HAVE to win :P :P :P PS: Vanguard would have been my 2nd choice...

JohnDillworth -> RE: OT Beautiful Ships of WWII (12/2/2012 8:05:37 PM)
I think I have brought some of my personal preferences over. I like em stacked: This is a thing of beauty to me. [image]local://upfiles/31520/0ACB75456B73459480122D8C3F3746ED.jpg[/image]

JohnDillworth -> RE: OT Beautiful Ships of WWII (12/2/2012 8:06:12 PM)
Of course some of the Japanese CA's are works of art

JohnDillworth -> RE: OT Beautiful Ships of WWII (12/2/2012 8:08:54 PM)
Vittorio Veneto BB at Taranto [image]local://upfiles/31520/5A56B530D7474A95A49081D947D63AF7.jpg[/image]

How about HMS Victory, she was still in commission 39-45. She still is. [image]local://upfiles/6847/03144AE0DC89452CA1DE5E6F9E61A40A.jpg[/image]

Such a shame because she is one gorgeous ship [&o]

Vanguard refusing to go to the breaker's yard quietly: [image]local://upfiles/6847/B9139FC92E814F169B45A25833525690.jpg[/image]

And finally, Warspite grounded on her way to the breakers in the ironically named Prussian Cove: [image]local://upfiles/6847/9F6E62C98F7B4752A8556EA4B1FAD5F7.jpg[/image]

Yamato [image]http://i.imgur.com/YeO0j.jpg[/image]

borner -> RE: OT Beautiful Ships of WWII (12/2/2012 9:35:53 PM)
Yamato class gets my vote. Something that big with clean lines and still looks like a Battleship

I can't remember..........[:'(]

John 3rd -> RE: OT Beautiful Ships of WWII (12/2/2012 10:24:47 PM)

The image you were thinking of was as per below: Warspite1 sends over a deadly salvo and Yamato blows up - Hurrah [&o]. Now its off to Trincomalee for tea and medals [:)] [image]local://upfiles/28156/2E101AA4E6704DBD899462B30AEC3BFF.jpg[/image]
