I was the Richelieu. Among all the BBs I think that is the _last_ one I would have thought I would be reincarnated as.

USS Iowa. Guess that's what comes of liking classical, rock, classic rock, folk, folk rock, blues, classical blues, folk blues, swing, classical swing and bluesabillicalolk. [:D][:D][:D]

Hrm, then my Agincourt must be because of me liking Jazz, CLassical, and R&B.

I don't know how a little guy like me rated the Yamato, but I did. Perhaps the question about weightlifting should ask how much you bench. [:D]

Hmm... Bismark class here, which I have noticed is not that common. Anyway, I'd love to see a quiz telling you what kind of flattop you are... and I'd roll on the floor laughing if I was told I was the Langley :)

My husband took it, and then asked me to take it as well. He wasn't too happy when he learned I was an Iowa Class and he was a Vittorio Veneto. I noted you didn't state the outcome of your challenge...[;)]

I was a King George V...

I had my girlfriend take the quiz to find out if her battleship would kick my battleship's butt....[:D]
She was the USS Texas...I was a King Geaorge V...I'm a happy camper.

Hi, I don't think the idea is to get the BB you want but to find out what BB you are.

BB Gangut rules the waves.

Hi, Rather then find out what answers are needed to fudge the BB results I'm interested in tracking how the BB do against one another in PBEM. I know only one of my opponenets so far.

BB Gangut versus BB King George V (Mogami versus RogueUSMC) began today. Huzzah!

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...

Me too. Rapid fire with little power.
