If you want good looking ships, you've got to go a lot farther back than the 20th century.

They do have beautiful lines, I can't deny it, but my loyalties lie with the Ironclads, pre-Dreadnoughts and Dreadnought warships.

It just looks lethal, like every angle of it could kill you, and it usually did, instead of the enemy...

Well, they tried copying the LCS but they couldn't duplicate the rust holes correctly so they settled for the Type 26.
