Default Favorite dreadnought - era ship classes

Hello; as preparation for an upcoming SH4 mod I wanted to find out what your favorite early 20th Century ships were. Additional comments, elaboration, photos, &c are most welcome! I've already started some ship models & I just wanted to get an idea of your priorities & favorites. You can select more than one, FYI

I've always had a soft spot for the "Iron Duke"! To me, she's a bit like an unsung hero of Jutland, who fought hard only to watch the battlecruisers get all the attention & glory.

Keep the suggestions coming in!

its pretty funny IABL, you are still hiding what you are doing when we all know its a Cold War mod

looks to be promising if you are making these kinda ships though.

Well, it looks like the Hun battlecruisers are hanging on to a tenuous lead. All you British subsim fans had better get cracking!

And now the German dreadnoughts have taken the lead. Hmph. A fine blow to the Royal Navy's pride.
