Well it did scare them from attacking the UK on it's home soil for more than 30 years

I've got to say I love the way the Dreadnought got it's name

[Exarch]

Not because it's big, mean looking or has huge guns, but because it - in my opinion - has a certain resemblence to the Fenris model:



As far as combat ability goes, it resembles the Fenris as well; Weak armor, light guns, but pretty fast and manouverable It does have one interesting feature though: The hull is made almost entirely from fiberglass rather than steel, so on radar it looks more like a small fishing boat than a warship.

it does look it...kinda..

The Motor Torpedo Boat. Light. Fast. And the more powerful the target, the more dangerous these boats become.
It took a certain kind of person to crew one of these ships, preferably someone who was (a)insane and (b) Could laugh in the teeth of death and more often than not get away with it Admittedly, you can only not get away with it once

[Tiara]

Nothing beats The Ultimate Coastguard!!!!!

[Ghostavo]

Nico, actually it is (unoficially) the second stealth boat in existance

The first disappeared...

Ah, US Navy BBs. Nothing more beautiful on the water, except maybe a fully loaded CVN.

You can't see me!!!
688 Class Submarine

[redsniper]

Ohio class nuclear missile submarine. Quieter than the surrounding ocean.

[Kamikaze]

Yamato battleship, 18" cannons, biggest of its kind.

[mikhael]

Would that be the "at the bottom of the ocean kind"?

Seriously, though, she might have boasted the largest armament in that war, but not the largest shipboard armament ever. The British deployed the HMS Furious with an 18" gun in 1917. The ship proved unsatisfactory for its intendend purpose, so a revamp removed the 18" gun. Three had been built, however, and were mounted on coastal monitors of the era.

Here's a pic of one of the monitors with an 18" gun. Notice how the damned thing is almost bigger than the tub its on.

There is also some indications that the US deployed coastal monitors at one point with 21" guns, but I'm having trouble finding concrete info on that one.

The Yamato does have an uncontested claim to the biggest AAAF gun ever mounted on a ship, evidently.

[Turnsky]

she was sunk during a suicide run by american bombers.
and she could've been defeated by the Iowa class 'cause they were more agile/faster than the Yamato.

[Rictor]

hasn't that traditionally been the other way around?
