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 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.

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

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

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.

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.

If you'd been in the 8th Army in May 1942, anything with a 75mm gun would have looked gorgeous to you.

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?
