Unidentified Aircraft off the port bow, range 10 miles, altitude 8,000 ft.

Looks like a Brewster all right [;)]

It is beautiful. It looks like aesthetics took precedence over practicality. they should do something about that ugly smoke though.

No, but I do spend a lot of time looking at pictures of naked women.

Judging by the smoke coming out of the ship, it looks like most of my ships in WITP.

Don't forget that, all jokes aside, she survived the war.
Here's another picture of her, late in the war, entering port (Freemantle?)

For a WWII-era warship, those are some very clean hull and superstructure lines. Wow, too bad the smoke obscures the middle deck, it'd be nice to see it to. Even the #3 (?) turret looks "designed".

edit: wow, steveh11 read my mind! creepy. That is a nice shape.

It's an interesting paint job on steves picture - did they try to fake a smaller hull???

She survived but having only been in one battle and lucky enough to be severely damaged to be sent away for repairs, spending the remainder of the war in backwater duties mainly.

It really is...even the wake is a work of art with the parallel stripes... and it looks like it is pushing about 5 ft of water for hundreds of yards in front of the ship..as if it were sailing uphill
