The strategic bombing campaign was totally irrelevant in keeping the flow of supplies open to Britain, and that's how the war was won, not some silly sideshow in the skies over Germany.

A historical first for Languish. Neil credits a victory in battle by a nation fielding Dreadnoughts to something other than Dreadnoughts. All hail the Flower Class Corvette

First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Well the Soviet Union had some dreadnoughts and I don't think he them credit for victory on the Eastern Front.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The Gangut Class Petropavlovsk was the only thing between success and failure at Leningrad; also sprach Neil.

The what?  The only ship I remember from that battle was the Marat and it blew up.

That was the Marat, it was renamed mid-battle.
