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

The beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder.ORIGINAL: warspite1
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.
However, I suspect that you agree that the ship in the picture below is a grand looking battleship. At least from this angle. [:)]

Yeah I don't see the beauty in anything like a Grant or a Lee. [;)]

If you'd been in the 8th Army in May 1942, anything with a 75mm gun would have looked gorgeous to you.
Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers?

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?

I think it was due to the 152mm howitzer it had rather than the 76mm of the KV-1.

A 152mm main gun and the German 88mm AT shells bounced off the armour.

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.
Do you really want to get into it?

They ruled in the desert in Afrika during that summer and they were very effective in the Burma theatre.

She may not have been the biggest nor the most famous, but the USS North Carolina will always be my favorite because she was the first warship I ever toured. The first of the new generation of USN fast battleships in WWII, she had an impecable service record in the Pacific...and she had an ice cream machine [8D]

Still a beauty, and it still has a Kingfisher scout plane. You can easily spend a full day touring that ship.
