Iowa class. Considering I am from New Jersey (home of BB62) that's not too bad.

I'm glad this is such a hit, I was quite surprised to find it. Kind of a neat waste of time.

Same here. I hope being yamato-like doesn't mean I was born after my time, like to pick on little people and will die by being beaten to death over the course of several hours.[;)]

i realy dont like the preformance of french WW2 warships but when they say that i earn this french "something", there must be a reason for this.[;)]

i realy wonder, what kind of answers someone needs to get the yamato. and what kind of person he must be? or can only weight watchers members get the yamato?[;)]

You might have heard of her sister, Jean Bart. A Vichy French ship, she engaged in a small battle with the battleship USS Massachusetts, despite not even being complete. She scored no hits, while the Massachusetts scored several hits, putting the Jean Bart out of action in less than 15 minutes.

The Richelieu escaped to Britain, was modernized in the US, and eventually wound up in the Far East Fleet with te surviving KGVs. After the war, she served in the French navy until 1957-1960, something like that.

Jean Bart was eventually completed, and served alongside her sister post war, until being scrapped.

The third unit, Clemanceau, was captured before launching by the Germans in 1940. She was launched, but never completed. She was scrapped postwar.

First one to get the Texas [;)]

You are the USS Texas. You are the flagship for today's Third Texas Navy and a museum piece linked with the pride of Texas. Built by the US navy with ten 14 inch guns, you're a symbol of Texan pride with a proud history in combat. World War I was really more your speed, though. As far as warships go, though, you don't measure up very well to the more modern battleships, lacking sorely in armor and speed. Nevertheless, a proud history lies behind you.

Rio De Janeiro

Did it ever support an invasion or at least fire it's guns toward entrenched grunts? Was it at least in a task force that was near an invasion?

Stylish...I guess shorts and a t-shirt are considered stylish some place on earth.

Unique...got that right just ask my wife.

Over all a great test

BTW my wife was Vittorio Veneto, partially right, she really liked Rome and Italy.

I'm yet another Iowa. I guess they're going to have to launch a few more, we're way past just four of them already.
