Myth: Battleships are vulnerable to air attacks.
Fact: All ships are vulnerable to air attacks.

Hey so I have two things i'd like to ask about. One if I were to write a story about five ships in Equestria would it be more interesting to naval fans if the ships were real ones made or fictionally cobbled from stats of other ships. Second I wanted to ask would it be cool if the group made a custom ship with its own lore and art as a flagship (pun not intended) of the group?

Hello everypony I'm new in this group and I've been a fan of the show for a while and I'm also a naval enthusiast. I've been planning and working an on a fanfic that's got to do with naval stuff and its also a crossover the story is called 'Equestria Battleship Yamato'. If you're interested in reading it well that's good also I've only uploaded the prologue and chapter 1. I'm still working on the next chapter which is going to be a longer chapter. So I hope you guys can welcome me here. Thank you

Sounds like a story you could write.

what would happen if the uss constitution the uss Alabama BB8 and the uss misouri ended up in equestrian at the same time

epic battle

I can't believe I found this group. The ideas are coming to me.

it is a thing to be said that wars are meant for fighting....

but why fight wars?
people die
and they also say that freedom is a right that all people ( and ponies) have.....

but I know by experience that this phrase is true

freedom is not free

think about that phrase and thank god you aren't dead or persecuted every day.

( but, no offense to democrats but with Obama in office, I think we have no freedom)

even though they say that women are more angry or deadly when theyre on their periods, wouldn't you agree that the uss Missouri would always be on her period?

also to be said that she costs exactly.....

2.3 billion dollars

and cannot move under her own power even though when she gets modernized her berth to get modernized is not even the length of her away....

316 feet to be exact.

You need to read the book "The Discovery of the Bismark" By Robert Ballard. In it, he speaks to survivors of the ship's sinking. Men who actually served on the ship. The book is very definitive. Also, it has been explained to you multiple times, and in the book it is explained, the Bismark's AA system was designed to handle faster planes than the Swordfish. They were too slow for the analog systems of the day. They could not depress the AA guns low enough to hit, also. You just need to accept the fact that the Bismark was not as bad a ship as you think. I believe TNaB will back me up. That is the last word I will say on the subject.

Any room for one more?

Not so much to remember the dead, mainly because we don't have the yard capability to replacing it

I might be wrong but Turret 2 was never repaired and is today a monument to the crew kilied in the blast now that Iowa is a museum

Don't worry about it

my mistake

Should have been more clear on that

I mean the entire crew of the turret

Only killed 40 something men, not quite the entire ship's compliment
