This one is brought to you by the US "Truth in Naming Department" -- a little known office of the WW2 BuOrd. I give you USS Block Island II.

No fair, Ron, it looks like they never made up their minds what they wanted her to look like. Anyhow, for ugly, I think I have you beat. I'll see your Hoche and raise you USS Iowa. Not that Iowa. THIS Iowa.

Those would be the French ships you posted. You know they actually built em that ugly on purpose. The idea was to present a large, bulky and intimidating presence.

Since someone insists that we take this seriously, and bearing in mind that the artwork makes her look a little stiff. USS Pennsylvania, a 120 gun ship of the line.
