"Whether it's due to treaty restrictions, resource limitations, or just bad engineering, the annals of naval history have no shortage of eyebrow-raising ship designs…."

I love that page. Using it for research for a project, actually. Fingers crossed. Definitely worth a read. |

My favourite Habbakuk story is of the demonstration to the top brass of the qualities of pykrete. To show it's strength, the attache – Lord Louis Mountbatten, no less – drew his service revolver and fired into a block of the stuff. The shot ricocheted and hit the US Admiral Ernest King in the leg. Nick |

Among the strange ideas for American pre-dreadnoughts were the Kearsarge, and even stranger the repeated design of the Virginias, carrying a co-rotating 8" twin guns above their main turrets. Having two different caiibers certainly doesn't make fire control easy, especially back before computers to calculate range. |
