This is a thread about Battleships.
not about how to modernise them, or make them not obsolete. This is a thread about how we can like them, and discuss BBs. also, didn't one guy once say in a thread about that British designed BB that never was, with 20 + inch guns i believe. If so, can i have some sources. In the mean time, BB dump is happening.

Never sank a single thing in action. That said its perceived threat caused a hell of a lot of deaths.
>>30561928
only thing it was good for was tallboy practise

YES, CONTRIBUTE MORE
>>30562040
My dump is over, other anons, contribute more sexy hulks of floating steel with big guns
>>30561900
Awww, the Richie! So cute! Just look at those little all-forward quadruple turrets!
Honestly my favourite BB.
>>30561925
WTH am I looking at here? Six double turrets, three biplanes and a pagoda turret from some hyperdimensional hell?
Were the people who designed this on drugs?
>>30562076
You are looking at the Imperial Japanese Navies Fuso Battleship
Japs, not even once.

this...this is photoshop, right?
so, this thread is slowing down. Best remedy is Hypothetical BB fights. IJN Fuso or HMS Rodney?
>>30562179
>>30562223
>mfw
Rodney would ruin Fuso.
>>30561805
RODNEY
>>30562223
The one with air support.
>>30562228
.............must be a fun place to be during heavy, rolling seas..
BB are relics
never to be used again

I koncur dess~~
not letting a BB thread die on my watch
and while the all guns, bigass battleship is dead, most likely never to return (i dream up scenarios at night, but that will never happen), but the spitit of having a massive ball of fuck you, that does not have a big flat bit with non ship related activities on top, still lives on.
not by nig-rigging a flight deck to your veteran Iowas, but as the kirov class battlecruiser
>>30562944
oh holy hell i just came
>>30562944
What is this, and where can i see more of it?
>>30561805
about that British 20 inch gun armed vessel, i dont think it was a battleship but rather a battlecruiser. Maybe that was the one called HMS Incomparable?
>>30562966
>>30562984
that is actually a ship beling to the french Richelieu class. This specific one being the Jean Bart
>>30562985
ah, i shall see, thanks for the info.
>>30562944
I like that it's the running away end.
Nuked.

>never built
yeah sure kiddo
>>30563437
That's the joke, family
Although, in their defense, they did have Principe de Asturias.
>>30562223
Rodney, better fire control radar, and 16 inch guns versus 14 inch, that and Rodney was a post ww1 treaty battleship with armor layout benefiting from wartime experience and Fuso was a early ww1 design not benefiting from combat experience.
Rodney had thicker armor of higher quality and better guns
>>30562975
should I worry that i can tell at a glance that thats HMS Vanguard?
>>30562975
>just one last pint before I go lads
>>30564483
aww, you actually made me more sad that i though was possible now
learning new things every day, eh?
Despite the HMS Vanguard only having 15 inch guns, the ship makes me cum buckets.
>>30561805
Majestic-class battleship (1893-1898)
>4 x 12-in (305 mm) cannons
>12 x 6-in (152 mm) quick-fire guns
>16 x 3-in (76 mm) quick-fire guns
>5 x 450 mm torpedo tubes
Displacement: 16,000 tons
Top Speed: 18 knots
Length: 128 meters
Pre-Dreadnoughts are classier
I wish there was a slightly more modern museum ship near me. Only one I know of is the Mikasa.
>>30565630
pretty neat, last remaining pre-dreadnought battleship
>>30565552
Yeah, they're pretty neat.
Is HMS Vanguard the best British BB?
>>30565702
An unqualifed yes.
>>30565838
*qualified
How good was the Austro-Hungarian Empire's BB program?
If they lived to WW2, would they have continued making BBs of note?
8x80cm main guns because why not?
>>30561811
whats with the line joining them? one giving fuel to the other?
>>30566061
Yes.
>>30566061

Fusou was the first Japanese post-dreadnought built without foreign help, and it shows. Multiple rebuilds were required just to make her mildly useful. The followup class, Ise, and the Big 7 members Nagato and Mutsu were far better ships.
Bongo bongo bongo, Iowa's sitting on the Kongou
>>30562975
>Yeah, nah, fuck off. You're not towing me anywhere, I am retiring right here.
>>30564802
It's not like BL 15" were bad guns though, just not as powerful as larger and more modern weapons. With good shell design they could still do the job. They also had a pretty good barrel life and reputation for accuracy.
>>30562944
I think I'm gay for French Battleships.
>>30566941
Thansk for the info, that makes it make more sense.

never change you plebs
>>30568382
Well what's your poison then?
>>30563061
And giving no fucks.
And according to the reports the surviving crew below decks could have restored the ship to operating order in 48 hours and slowly had her limp back to port.
>>30568289
>I think I'm gay for French Battleships.
But battleships are girls, /k/omrade.
>>30561898
underrated
>>30568480

No, they might have got it moving, but it would have been fucked, better to scuttle it than waste time trying to recommission it.
>>30566120
>BB's racemixing with fucking carriers

It's a bit too late for that now you've gone and posted reeeshit, but keep greentexting and ignoring the facts you cancerous bastard.
>>30569555
I didn't even know Reeee was reddit exclusive since it's not exactly rare here.
>>30569599
Because you're a newfag and so you probably think that shit and frogposting is alight. Just turn right up and sperg out. Now you know.

Calm down Pierre. The German aren't here yet.

Holy shit anon calm your autism.
And unless you're Russian, all ships are girls and should be referred to as such.

>>30571549
surely the candidate that wants to go back to the Monroe doctrin will invest heavily in the fleet
I wish we'd kept at least one british battleship as a museum. Shame we were broke as fuck after the war, warspite didnt deserve to be scrapped.
