So much for Strings prettiest warship thread.


Makes the pretty ones that much more appealing! Ever notice that good looking girls often have a troll as a friend?

Those would be the French ships you posted. You know they actually built em that ugly on purpose. The idea was to present a large, bulky and intimidating presence.

Since someone insists that we take this seriously, and bearing in mind that the artwork makes her look a little stiff. USS Pennsylvania, a 120 gun ship of the line.

LOL I kinda like them! She's definitely showing her age though, starting to rust out, and in a major league need of dry dock repairs.

She's a Beauty alright but looks good for her age!

Your right about the Megane as well by the way.

What's wrong with the Megane? It took me a while to get accustomed to its look, but at least a car which has style (and is not a Ferrari).
