Easter Egg on HMS Orion

[dseehafer]

Greetings all,

 

    So, Like I do for all new ships that pop up on GM3D I search for any Easter eggs I can find. Out of all of the new ships added today the only significant Easter egg I was able to find was on Orion, with a "maybe" on Queen Elizabeth.

 

Above Orion's bridge, there is a bow in a little hut!

Because Orion was a legendary hunter and the constellation that bears his name has a bow :3

Dammit.  Oh, well, thought you were doing a Men in Black reference.

A big wooden podium on the open bridge.

I guess I don't get the significance of that. Oh well. I don't get the significance of a lot of things.

My *guess* is that it could be a reference to Queen Elizabeth I's speech at Tilbury in anticipation of the Spanish Armada.

If you've ever heard the phrase; "I know I have the body of a weak, feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a King, and a King of England too," <-- That's the speech at Tilbury. That's my best guess as to what it might be referencing... A podium on the Battleship Queen Elizabeth, it could be that. Or it could be something totally different and I'm just looking at this the wrong way.
