Battleship Personality Quiz

Post by Tankerace »

I found this on the KBismarck.com forums. Its a quiz that tests your personality, and then determines what kind of battleship you would be. I took it, and it turns out that I would be the Rio de Janerio, which we all know better as HMS Agincourt.

Richelieu - [&:]

Richelieu class (Richelieu, Jean Bart) Elegant, distinctive, innovative, and excellent. The premier french battleship, and one of very few battleships actually built that respected the 35,000 ton displacement limitation set forth in the Washington Treaty. The Richelieu sported numerous unique systems, such as foil-skinned bouyant foam capsules to prevent taking on too much water from torpedo hits, excellent void and and water filled torpedo blisters, exceptionally well designed armor, some of the best (and longest range) 15 inch guns ever built with a unique loading system. Although it started life with a relatively weak anti-aircraft system on par with the Vittorio Veneto, it was refitted by the Allies during its rather eventful history to carry a much heavier anti-aircraft suite. This class was retired in the 1950s-1960s, with the Richelieu being finally scrapped in 1970. 2x4 15/45 9 6/55 12 3.9/45 12 37mm (pre-refit #1) 24 13.2mm (pre-refit #1) 56 40mm (post-refit #1) 48 20mm (post-refit #2) 28 57mm (Jean Bart, post-war) 20 20mm (Jean Bart, post-war)

I've swore never to buy a french car again....but ok, I've never said anything about battleships!-)

Gangut The Gangut class was the largest native class of battleship actually used by the USSR in WWII. They also served in WWI, but underwent extensive upgrades and modification over the years. With four triple 12 inch guns, the Gangut carried light firepower but potentially the highest overall rate of fire of any battleship in terms of heavy shells per minute. A WWI workhorse, the Gangut class was re-used throughout WWII, providing surface bombardment to support the Soviet advance through Germany; although a heavier battleship class, the Sovietski Soyuz, was under construction as WWII opened up, it was never brought into action, leaving the Gangut the largest Soviet battleship on record.

Ah fellow Yamato, you and I, the glorious Musashi, shall make these pathetic weakling Battleships rue the day they thought to compare themselves to our might!

Apparently I am the USS Texas. Odd little quiz and none of the answers really applied to me for some of the questions.

thanks for posting this tankerace. Good catch.

I'm a Gangnut.

Must be that car parked out in the yard... Although that Plymouth Acclaim was my mothers, not my cousins. And she sold it to me for the trade in value...
