Fascinating...
So I guess I should change the name of this poll to "Favorite Battlecruiser, Armored Ship, Croiser de Combat, Light Battleship, Panzerschiff, Large Cruiser, and Large Light Cruiser." :p

Yes, that sounds fine to this anal-retentive sort

I believe the proper description of a battlecruiser was "an eggshell armed with hammers.":)

The 15" gun barrels designed for the Scharnhorst class were actually put into coastal batteries.
The second biggest guns ever put ashore....
So the Scharnhorst is actually a battleship with a battlecruiser armament. On the other side Hood is a battlecruiser with battleship armament....)
Here's a link to the battery homepage:

It's a tourist attraction now, but fully operational
So if you have to take the family to see a fjord or something else less interesting....be sure to make a detour in her
