So, is this something out of your garbled mind or did the British really contemplate an 18" gunned BB?

Oh, that's quite historical. Just after WWI, the British designed a battlecruiser class called the G3 (9*16-inchers, 32 knots) and a companion battleship class called the N3 (9*18-inchers, 24 knots). Both were cancelled due to the Washington treaty.

Pretty cool. Do they show up in WPO? (Haven't gotten that far into it yet.)

The G3's do... The BC's were considered the ones most likely to be built, so Tanker stuck them in.

Heh... In "Super Dreadnoughts", you get three G3's (Invincible, Trafalgar and Indefatigable) and three Hoods (Hood, Anson and Howe)...

Folks, i am taking cover now as a tornado watch is in effect - we seem to be in the path of a possible tornado ... if you don't hear from me for a while, hopefully it is just because the power or wireless tower is out...[X(][X(]

Whew - it looks like it hit just to the west and north of us - the big rotating red circle on the doppler weather radar went over Argyle, the town just to the NW of us, and has swept off to the NE. Might get rain, hail, lightning. The towns hit haven't reported an actual tornado - just high straight-line winds and softball-size hail.
A second storm is supposed to go through about 2 a.m. - i am hoping it will also miss.

Interesting to see what we grabbed to save when we thought we were about to be hit - the dogs, laptops, emergency equipment (flashlights, windup radio, walk-talkies).
My wife had subconsciously put the TV remote in the shelter...[X(][8|][:D]

You sure that wasn't you with the TV remote? That is supposed to be the man's domain after all. [:'(]

Nah - it was her, i actually witnessed the event (to my amusement, but didn't comment on it). About 10 minutes later, she got this confused sort of look on her face (we were watching local weather radar) and said "Did I put the remote in with the emergency stuff??"[X(][X(]
TV watching is mostly her domain. i will watch movies on a movie channel, and that is about it (i watch one "regular" TV show per week, and that's it...)
