I felt guilty about having too much RN representation. If peeps are cool with that then fine by me

Re the KMS - is that right? Not saying its not - I just don't know...

Them, and YAMATO. The YAMATOS are just uber-cool

If we are voting for ugliest ships, hands-down for me that is the INDEPENDENCE-class CVLs. I realize they were a war-time expedient, but stilll........ugh

LOL, I'll give it a try.

HEY LISTEN UP! Voting here in this thread does NO GOOD! You need to go to the general discussion forum.

http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tt.asp?forumid=8

Once there you need to go to the Australian Beauties thread to place you votes.

http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3083586&mpage=73

From the sounds of things here, if you guys go there and vote, the Yamato will win. I voted for the Yamato, I want the Yamato to win, so go to the Australian Beauties thread and vote for YAMATO!

Thank You!

Hi MAurelius,

Previous votes have been in a run-off format. Only in the last couple days has there been a 'finals' bracket established. Unless you voted within the last couple of days (all categories, please), your vote is unlikely to be established for the finals.

Please visit the General Discussion forum page for voting. Votes here will not be scored.

MAurelius, may I make so bold as to suggest you get yourself - and your rather pleasant avatar - over to the Aussie Beauties thread, whereupon you will be asked to do your duty. Thank-you sir .
