This thread has thrown up many well drawn and interesting designs. Most of us have had a Nelson moment and put the 25,000 ton restriction up to our blind eye. But lets face it, most countries in real life did exactly that. So I have treated the 25,000 ton as a guideline rather than a limit.

My favourites in no particular order are:

Rowdy36, Italia class BB (page-1) mini Littorios
Karle94, North Carolina Class BB (page-8) love that quirky funnel!
Garlic_Design, Deutschland BC, (page-13) twin towers were definitely different.

Of my own many drawings, the one that gave me most pleasure to look at was the:
Krakatoa, US built ARA Bueno Aires BB (page-16)
closely followed by the:
Krakatoa, French Dunkerque (page-15) those French BB's were always really good looking ships.

If you have some favourites, put your list in the thread. We can all then add up who gets the most 'likes' (sounds like Facebook).

Rowdy's pocket Littorios and GD's Deutschlands are my favourites too.
While the ARA Buenos Aires is the ship from you that I like the most.
