This has so much rarely shown movies.  An excellent feast for the eyes of any Battleship afficionado.
"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Tallulah Bankhead: "I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me."

"When all other trusts fail, turn to Flashman." — Abraham Lincoln.

"I have enjoyed very warm relations with my two husbands."
"With your eyes closed?"
"That helped."  Lauren Bacall

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.

That is excellent. Thanks for posting it.

What makes it interesting for me is that 2 of the class were built on the Tyne. HM KGV being built by Vickers-Armstrong which used to be situated about 3 miles from where I live, and the 'Anson' being built by Swan Hunter, which used to be situated further downriver at Wallsend.
