Just recently saw Death Star ice cube molds...I think there may even be a Borg Cube shaped mold for ice cubes as well...

What would the WWII have looked like as Sci-Fi movie?

Battle of Britain, Battle Coral Sea and others placed in the universe...

Turn USS Yorktown and the likes into space flattops...

Destroyers, cruisers and battleships still with their turrets...

It would end up sort of a cross between Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica

Keep the superstructure as is, or pretty much as is, change the guns to lasers, re-design the hull, remove the screws and so on and so forth...

A Japanese anime did that years ago, with the battleship Yamoto

 

[GrauGeist]

Anyway, here's the Space battleship Yamoto info: Space Battleship Yamato - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And this is what it looks like:

Interesting....

By the way, I know it's Yamato...it looks like my spellcheck thinks it should be spelled differently

 

[mikewint]

Probably because of Isoroku YAMAMOTO. While the battleship was named after the YAMATO province AND Yamamoto commanded the Yamato

 

[GrauGeist]

Or...perhaps my spellcheck is just stupid (which I tend to lean toward as most probable)

Well you know the old axiom: Programs are only as good as the programer. Much as when Bobby Fisher trounced the Greenblatt computer program at chess.

oops...sorry about that rating... (not sure what it was, but I removed it)

This new layout is going to take some learnin'

I remember that the USS Yorktown in the original series. Kirk used it to destroy some wormlike creature that was destroying planets.

In all the series/movies I recall ships names from all countries but Germany. Did I miss it/them?

I hooked you up with some German ones back around post 64 and I haven't ever seen a reference to the Bismarck, but there is a Scharnhorst

Man, I used to watch Star Blazers everyday after school. The Wave Motion gun was fricken cool! I remember the first time they used it, it vaporized a floating continent. I do remember the peoples they were fighting against had carriers.
