Ah, the "ranger" joe. Uou speak with a forked tongue. The worst violator of standards in your verbose posts. Hard to imagine that you can honestly criticize another with your demonstrated abuse of what is now allowed.



sanch -> RE: Australian Beauties II (12/29/2021 11:35:28 PM)

bad post - sorry!

Inaccurate, too.

Hi Aurelian - I tried PM ing you back but a message saying your inbox is full or you do not accept PM's came up.

Anyway, I agree with what you said.

I also agree with your thoughts on the Marat and her sisters. These battleships fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down [sm=scared0008.gif] They were possibly even uglier viewed from the stern - she's like a push-me pull-you....

Fixed the PM

I think they were better looking before the rebuild. But not by that much.

This one also fell out of the ugly tree, but may of missed a branch or two.

Richelieu - so presumably in the Indian Ocean?


Indeed. The Bay of Bengal, according to the photo description.

So, from what battleship is the photo taken? Fairly easy, I would guess.




Orm -> RE: Australian Beauties II (12/31/2021 9:50:32 AM)

So started to look around for pictures of French battleships because I recall that I previously thought 'that is a nice looking battleship' when I saw a picture of French BB. But I do not recall what ship it was. And it is never wrong to include a French beauty in a battleship contest. Alas, I didn't find the picture I was looking for. And I am not even sure what BB it was. Maybe Strasbourg?

Queen Elisabeth I would guess (apologies I don't have a working button for the last letter of the alphabet....).

Personally I am not a fan of these ships. The gap between the funnel and the bridge looks odd, and the lack of a main turret at the rear gives a lop-sided appearance a la the Nelson's. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Orm -> RE: Australian Beauties II (12/31/2021 10:47:24 AM)

Right. So are we going to have a BB contest then? One from each of UK, USA, Germany, Italy, and Japan? Where in the end the one from US wins? [:)]

A picture of a Female that is not wearing clothes - it is a historical picture . . .

You may very well call it a female. I call it a tank. [:)]

The beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder.

However, I suspect that you agree that the ship in the picture below is a grand looking battleship. At least from this angle. [:)]

Two more that fell out of the ugly tree. Grant and Lee.

If you'd been in the 8th Army in May 1942, anything with a 75mm gun would have looked gorgeous to you. [sm=Tank-fahr09.gif]

Yes I would agree that from this angle she looks fine.... but I think all angles need to be taken into account, and from side on, she is just not a good looking warship to my mind.

I know little about tanks. Why was that oversised chunk of metal considered necessary in the KV-2's design?
