Very impressive firepower arrangement on the nelson and Rodney... as long as they remembered to always check six.

I'm curious to see how they'd play in General Quarters. That is a lot of firepower.

The Italian battleship, Roma, is known for being sunk by a German Fritz-X glide bomb.
Here is an interior photo spread of a really attractive ship.  Officer's quarters look more like a cruise ship than a working combat vessel.

the Germans came up with the form follows function of design.
the Americans went with function at all costs.
the Italians told both of them to go fuck themselves, it's all about design.

any modern Ferrari looks better then a Vette or an Audi r8.
