my top 3 are:

QE2 cruise liner

SS Norway Cruise liner

I loved the look of the Yamato battleship. And the Bismark comes a close 2nd.

I agree the Yamato and bismark are classics

Bismark! :arrgh!:

as far as BB's go, the Bismarck or North Carolina class are the best looking for sure. I always thought the Yamato's looked bloated and clumsy, not graceful, especially with that weird curve they have amidships.

I always liked the Iowa Class Battleships. They practically symbolized Naval Warfare of 20th Century.

HMS Victory. There are no better lines than those in the age of sail, and the British made them prettier than anyone.

Alaska CB for me....not quite a cruiser...not quite a battleship. All pretty tho.

Wow! That IS a beautiful ship! :up:

I can't even tell... is that a CGG, painting, or photo?

Amen! :up:

That's just an old-fashioned oil painting scanned off the back of my squadrons/signal publications booklet on U.S. Heavy Cruisers. Wish I had the original hanging on my wall. :cool:

Waaay, waaay too hard of a question I think. There are many beautiful warships but this one came to mind first, not saying its the best but on the list:

What about Ol' Ironsides?

Ironsides? Or Ironclads?

Torplexed, Marhkimov and pigfish, those pictures are fantastic! It made my day. And thanks kapitain for putting up the thread otherwise i would never have seen those ships.

That iowa class battleship is a beauty.

:D

Or Ironclad Torpedo Ram :up:

And I couldn't really post without mentioning a ship that was built in the town I live in (though you'd be hard put to tell considering our shipbuilding facilities went kaput nearly 400 years ago)

And it really wouldn't be right of me to leave this post without bringing up an old favourite of mine:

I love the look of the Kirov class.

1. Best looking Submarine - Russian/Soviet Alfa Class SSN
