Beautiful ship and so representative of the big 44 gun Frigates we built before the War of 1812. Innovative. They were actually a new class and gave the Brits all they wanted.

1,578 ReddNekk Members 4,479 posts 19,839 battles Report post #4 Posted September 5, 2017 The Albemarle Class Ironclads, Albemarle and Neuse. Those ships were the epitome of casemate ironclads, tough, well armed and very maneuverable. Neuse never engaged in battle. Albemarle was in 2, one where she was outnumbered 8 to 1 and Albemarle prevailed. She was sunk at her dock at Plymouth North Carolina in Oct. 1864 by a torpedo boat attack commanded by Lt. William Cushing, USN. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4,728 [ABDA] crzyhawk Beta Testers 17,538 posts 12,810 battles Report post #5 Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) USS Salt Lake City (CA-25). I like her history, I like her flaws, and they way her crew talked about her. I like the fact that the USN hated her class, most people call them horrible ships (the design /was/ pretty poor) but when the chips were down, she performed better that most of the cruisers in the fleet.

25 [KIA] Thunderstruck2016 Members 139 posts 19,246 battles Report post #7 Posted September 5, 2017 Probably the USS California BB-44. I like the design of those battleships before they were modernized and modernized after she was sunk at Pearl Harbor. What I love most about her is that she and 5 other battleships were at the Battle of Surigao Strait and totally crushed the Japanese Southern Force. A big "f___ you" to the Japanese fleet.

82 [GUTS] Capt_Binkley Beta Testers 471 posts 10,615 battles Report post #8 Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) The Iowa class battleships. In particular, the USS Missouri. Why... they are beautiful ships. If you've ever seen one, you know they are as intimidating as hell. And they were intimately involved in one of the most important events in history.

And hilarious. No other ship can claim the dubious distinction of having almost accidentally assassinated the President. Twice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1,520 Wombatmetal Members 4,515 posts 3,255 battles Report post #10 Posted September 5, 2017 Motor Torpedo Boats in the Solomon Islands. From the time 4 mahogany PT boats attacked two battleships, a couple cruisers, and a bunch of destroyers during the Night of the Battleships at Guadalcanal, till the Japanese left the area, the almost nightly battle between the Tokyo Express and the Mosquito Fleet is as good as it gets. I would be a PT main if I could. Bulkeley vs Tanaka. Good stuff. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those smexy tri-pod masts for one. <3 Also, as a native PA resident, she represents my home state. :) Edited September 5, 2017 by Kitsunelegend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
98 XXRed_DawnXX ∞ Members 660 posts 10,786 battles Report post #13 Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) Hard for me choose one... I'd say the USS California BB-44 because it's named after my home state... and she's quite the looker that's for sure. <image removed> Edited September 11, 2017 by XXRed_DawnXX Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
272 [-AGW-] NashW8 Members 1,159 posts 25,388 battles Report post #14 Posted September 5, 2017 For the looks I'd have to go with the tall wooden ships. I was on the Victory and it's a thing you can grasp on a human level. It's a big ship, but you can understand the limits of it. The only other ship I was on in person, the Belfast, was a virtual labyrinth. Unless you are on deck or very familiar with it you'd get lost. For the story I'd have to go with SMS Emden. Epic history with some tragedy and feel-good twist at the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
