Toss up between Dunkirk and Rodney. Went with the Brits.

Never liked the trailing superstructure of the Scharnhorst class (looks like something is missing aft of the funnel), so she is out.  Dunkerque has a great hull line, but the stack is too far aft so it looks like something is missing forward of the stack.  Rodney isn't ugly enough to be attractive-ugly like the Big Five.  North Carolina has great balance and the second-best hull line, so takes the prize.

Scharnhorst all the way. The others look like someone was sick on the ocean.

The Scharnhorst looks badass.

Voted Iowa for the 4th generation poll.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I picked the North Carolina because I built a model of the ship when I was a wee lad. Then set it on fire.

I blew up the Iowa and the North Carolina.  I also melted the Arizona.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

I beached my Big Wheel trying to get to the street, or else the driveway would've been blocked for months.

No one called me out on the irony of me making this statement? I'm disappointed in Languish. :(

I hereby call you out, Little Timmy Olsen, on the irony of making that statement.

Consider yourself CALLED!! Outwardly!
