Though not a big lover of naval warfare, despite the addiciton to this game, she is indeed a BEAUTYYYYYYYYY
hawker have you seen a painting made about the channel dash shows both ships (Prinz Eugen was the other one no?) with some ME 109's flying CAP. Brilliant

There is (i think) 8 photo of channel dash, for me the best is photo taken from PE showing Scharnhorst dead in the water after hit a mine.

Maybe with the sails up... all that rigging reminds me of telephone poles too much... [X(] [:'(]

It's very difficult to find photos of sailing warships with their sails up. [:'(]

I like the oldies too, but I always thought the liners were too thick in the middle and matronly looking; kinda like a mother-in-law.
I like these better; lean mean sailing machines.
