The USS Yorktown. Oh the war stories JT Ellison told me about, back when we worked together in the 70's. |

I am rather fond of hearing about that French coal burning battleship that when it hit a mine off the Dardenelles the alllied sailors cheered. |

Maybe pushing the boundaries of the question but I'm fascinated by the Lusitania. |

SMS Hindenburg. Derfflinger class, with incremental improvements. |

Surely the Warspite by a mile, fought in two World Wars and even refused to go to a scrapyard after decommissioning. 15 Battle Honours including fighting in the largest surface battle ever. link |

I have a totally irrational fondness for the Russian armored cruiser Rurik. She was worked so hard, she was falling apart at the end of the war. My 1/2400 Rurik has appeared in nearly every Baltic scenario I've put together. I get mad when another player playing her gets her sunk. :-) - Ix |

What's the one in the Faulkner short story? British torpedo boat with a two-man crew that sneaks into German-held harbors? |

Derfflinger. took a 15" hit to the bridge and most survived. She is one fine looking ship she is!!!
and she sunk two Brit BCs. Can any other capital ship claim that ? |
| Narratio | 23 Aug 2017 8:03 p.m. PST |
Yep, got to be the Derfflinger, such a beauty to be taken in harms way. |
| 21eRegt | 23 Aug 2017 9:15 p.m. PST |
Yet another Warspite vote. Though admittedly mostly for what she did in WWII. |
| 4th Cuirassier | 24 Aug 2017 1:51 a.m. PST |
Another vote for Seydlitz. I find all those inline four-turret layouts almost indistinguishable. Five turrets with two wing turrets and no forward superfiring turret, on the other hand – what's not to like? |
| John the Confused | 24 Aug 2017 2:01 a.m. PST |
HMS Agincourt – all those turrets. |

Definitely a mention for Agincourt. Turrets named for the days of the week – splendid. I also have a lot of time for HMS Furious when she had a sloping flight deck forward and one 18" tube aft:
I do not get how you achieved a straddle with a one-gun main battery. |
| Bellbottom | 25 Aug 2017 11:44 a.m. PST |
Warspite for me too, although Tiger does look good too. |

Dreadnought. Mainly because of what she represented, but also for being the only battleship ever to sink a submarine. |
| scl136 | 28 Aug 2017 7:53 p.m. PST |
SMS Derfflinger. Just a real beauty! My favorite WW1 ship. |
