There is (i think) 8 photo of channel dash, for me the best is photo taken from PE showing Scharnhorst dead in the water after hit a mine.

Maybe with the sails up... all that rigging reminds me of telephone poles too much... [X(] [:'(]

[Mynok]

It's very difficult to find photos of sailing warships with their sails up. [:'(]

I like the oldies too, but I always thought the liners were too thick in the middle and matronly looking; kinda like a mother-in-law.

I like these better; lean mean sailing machines.

And here's one for uncle rtrapasso, with sails up.
