Imagine the renown for that!

1 patrol, 1 ships sunk, most tonnage :P

Althought seeing it emerge in thick fog wouldn't be that great

Trav_R · 12-01-05, 10:58 PM

Hmm, wonder how many torps it would take to put that bad boy down. :hmm:

Ducimus · 12-01-05, 10:59 PM

Thats a big bloody tanker.

Hit the 200K club with one torpedo savlo! If only we should be so lukcy :P

If anyone misses a tub this large, please resign your commision as a uboat captain!

4.1 million barrels of oil :hmm:
forget torping her, just pirate her and sell the oil and retire

Current exchange $50 us a barrel: 205 million US$

Now thats draft

Kinda makes me wonder what would happen if there was another real war between real superpowers with real subs. Today's merchant ships and tankers are so huge, that just taking down a single one would be a pretty noticable blow to a country's economy. Add to that the fact that modern subs are so much more capable, it would seem they wouldn't have any trouble at all taking down an entire country's merchant fleet in no time. I know that ASW has advanced rapidly as well, but still, subs are subs. You'd think they'd be able to do plenty of damage.

Just look between those two picture. The oil really does weigh her down.

Krupp · 12-02-05, 07:28 AM

...hmmm.... does the small text in the stern of that beast say "We break for no one"?

12-02-05, 10:17 AM

Now that's what you could call a large ship! Mabe 6 simultaneosly fired eels right under the keel coul blow her up. All the oil might speed the burning process up!

Oh; and by the way, what is the largest warship built?

~S~

Col7777 · 12-02-05, 10:20 AM

Think of the oil slick if that was torped.

12-02-05, 10:23 AM

Quite a natural catastrophe! Couldn't any modder make a SH3 file of that tanker??? I'd like to try to torp it

VegaBond · 12-02-05, 11:24 AM

I think the biggest warship was The Yamato (biggest battleship) and modern i think largest warship is Nimitz class aircraft carrier..

12-02-05, 04:41 PM

Well those are som quite large ships!

The Yamato Class:

The Nimitz Class:

Quite large ships, huh?

~S~ :hmm: :hmm:

:hmm: :hmm:

If a 20k ton liner can shrug off 4 torps and keep going it would be quite the challenge to sink that

(with a WW2 era sub at least

)
