Tired of ads?

Warships, naval warfare has never been my cup of the. But berhaps it's HMS Hood?
(and in case it actually, by a fluke, it was sunk by Bismarck in 1941)

No. Look at the profile of the ship, that more than anything will tell you when it was built.

Got spare money?

It is a dreadnought, but it is not the Dreadnought.

You can usually tell dreadnoughts by the midship turrets. I say again, there was only one ship like this one, and it has an odd deployment history.

Well, someone else has to take over. As I pointed out, naval warfare isn't really my cup of tea. Damn it, I don't even drink tea!

As I said, count the turrets. You do know that the port midship turret is not visible? Count the turrets.

OH, COME ON!

That is the Hood. Of all the pictures, this one is hard?

Woops! I did not see the middle turret. Know I am not sure at all, thought it looks a lot like the Hood.
