I know I'm pain in the ass Night' but ... this is something I can't stop thinking about it.



Thats Iron Duke, model battleship of I WW. It has longer bow and stern ... the same as Queen Elizabeth, Revange and Canada.

Smaller, poorer ... Dreadnought want-to-be ship. But ok, it's your design. I'm just hard uncritical supporter of Brits' battleships design.

She works, buddy, she works. I do appreciate your concern.

She is still pretty good for her time. Four turrets that can train to either side is pretty advanced for 1914, giving it the same broadside as say, the Kaiser class. Although, now I can't help but wonder what is taking up all of the space inside the ship where the Q turret would be.

EDIT: It seems that I've mistaken the gun caliber. Give her a broadside a little less than the Iron Dukes.

So I thought a bit about Rhade's suggestion, and here is the final, and END ALL Endeavour, as well as her Adversary the IRS Iron Fist

Very sharp set of drawings there, Nighthunter! I'm looking forward to seeing what the interwar rebuilds and WWII refits look like.

Bronies are like the Forsworn. Everyone agrees that they are a problem but nobody wants to expend the energy rooting them out.

"That is a very graphic analogy which aids understanding wonderfully while being, strictly speaking, wrong in every possible way."

Thanks guys!
