Can't forget "Old Ironsides", oldest commissioned ship in the US Navy.

Nice one trackend.....I'm more a fan of those classic 1920's and 30's motor yachts....

I also like the classic Riva motor boats L13 having been on one its like a beautiful Violin with 300 horses inside.

Early model S-Boots, beautiful

BB-39 gets my vote as well.

T4.H · Jul 6, 2007

BB: Bismark class-> I prefer the Tirpitz
I also like the "older" british BB's like the Queen Elisabeth class or the Hood.
I don't like the bow of the Yamato or the Iowa class.

Heavy cruiser: For me a heavy cruiser has to look like the "Hipper" class.
I prefer the "Blücher" and the "Prinz Eugen".

As far as beauty, the Hood made the Bismarck look shabby.

For me,

the beautifull ships are the Scharnhorst class!

delcyros · Jul 7, 2007

Agreed, Renrich. Hood architectonically looks finer than Bismarck. But who couldn´t praise Richelieus lines?

Opinion? I think the opposite. I think the Bismarcks clean modern lines made her look better.

Lucky13 · Jul 7, 2007

I'm afraid that I have to agree with young Adler here. Bismarck, Tirpitz, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau are better looking than Hood.

ToughOmbre · Jul 7, 2007

Bismarck over Hood in more ways than one.

renrich · Jul 7, 2007

Well, it is all very subjective, but to me the Hood is very graceful and swan like where Bismarck is more bulky and powerful looking. Like comparing the Spitfire, to me the most graceful and beautiful ac ever built with a P47 which while a handsome ac with semi elliptical wings, the Jug is bulky, powerful which did it's job with brute force.

Flower class corvette

Not sexy, not big, rolled on wet grass, not well armed.

But did a lions share of fighting and sub killing in the most brutal conditions.

Those ships were immortalized in the great movie made about them "The Cruel Sea"

Lovely little ships, though their names weren't very warlike eg HMCS Snowberry
