well it had to be the Bismarck for me but if I had a choice it would Have been The Konig Class. Love those dreadnoughts :heh:

My Top Three:

1. IJN Battleships - like Kym Knight said, they catch the eye;
2. North Carolina; and
3. A tie for third between Scharnhorst class and Iowa class.

Hood.
Prinz Eugen - a most elegant cruiser but not listed. So I chose Scharnhorst.

Hmmm, Interesting one here!

I voted for the Vanguard and the Richelieu. The question doesn't relate to functionality, rather looks and personal perceptions, but I think both ships would have done well in battle in rough seas, more so than the other contestants. And to boot, they both looked fine and well found ships.

Incidentally, Vanguard was allegedly better than the Iowas in heavy seas! (- Dons steel helmet and anti-flash gear, waits for incoming salvoes!?) :woo_hoo: :destroyer:

Cheers,

Hugh

There is a poll? Surely it's "The Mighty Hood" the most beautiful warship in the world!
