And HMS Dreadnought, the one that started it all, missed the only dreadnought battle at Jutland, she was in port being upgraded. Bet that pissed off the Captain. :mrgreen:

Hey 'G' what's this HMAS business
Dunno, but I seem to be persisting with it.
Yeah being a revolutionary design in the development of the battleship is all very well. BUT using 18,000 tons of batttleship with 10 x 12 " guns & 27 x 12 pdrs + 5 torpedo tubes, armour plating up to 18" thick to sink a submarine displacing 971 tons armed with a single 105mm gun and 4 torpedo tubes is a class act.

They rammed it when the U-boat popped up in front it unexpectedly, why bother to shoot, just drive over it. :mrgreen:
And if the U-boat was that close, I doubt if any of the bug guns would depress that far.
So yup, just drive over it without even bothering to shoot. :mrgreen:

SMS Scharnhorst - cruiser WW1 1907-14
Scharnhorst - battleship WW2 1939-43
Scharnhorst - sloop previously HMS Mermaid

Recognised the middle one, first one was easy to find but the last took a little bit of digging.
Very entertaining Duncan.

According to Star Trek, this is the Battlecruiser Scharnhorst, or it will be, in about 350 years. :loco: :loco:

Time you had to think one out a bit ( ;) ) so have a look at this.

I will post 2 more pics if this isn't being guessed so it might be worth getting it wrong to see the other photos!
