That's really something.

I hope it never prompts comparisons to Polish cavalry versus German tanks.

Wait...there is a car? [&:][X(]

There's probably quite a few ww2 ships still floating around in active foreign service - Adm Belgrano (ex Phoenix) comes to mind though it was sunk during Falklands

You have to look really close. I had my magnifying glass out to check out the wonderful tail end and beautiful lines and I aimed it wrong and was wondering what all the chrome was about. I pulled the glass back and saw a chrome wheel marring a wonderful picture.

Which was only 35 years or so ago [;)]

I believe almost all WWII ships have been retired by now.

Mexico had ARM Manuel Azueta, ex Edsall class DE-250 USS Hurst in commission until last year.

ARM Netzahualcóyotl, ex Gearing class DD-863 USS Steinaker has been decommissioned in 2014.

ARM Manzanillo ex LST-602 has been decommissioned in 2011.

The Philippine Navy probably still has some ex PCE and minesweepers in active service, as well as BRP Rajah Humabon ex Cannon class DE-169 USS Atherton.

Maybe some auxiliaries remain as well.

Oldest ship still in service seems to be the Russian submarine salvage vessel Kommuna - commissioned in 1915.

Not exactly WW2, but laid down in 1939

the last gun cruiser and last ship with armor

[JohnDillworth]

No, there is a t least one WWII ship still in service. In fact, I am on her a couple of times a year when I am headed to New England. LST-510 is a cross sound ferry between Long Island and Connecticut. This one saw some action....June 6th, 1944 Omaha Beach

I know she's just a cruiser, but she's kinda cute. Do you have her phone number?

[Jorge_Stanbury]

I have her pimp's number

Classic strategy. Put extra weight in the rear to make faster cornering and traction. Helps the driver maintain his momentum and direction.

The Wikipedia article said the tubes were sealed before being sold to Taiwan. Without functional torpedo tubes, what is her combat capacity?

Clearly YOU have let YOUR subscription to "Low Rider" magazine lapse if this is a surprising layout for you.
