Sorry, Megan, Might have to disagree with you on that one.

I find the Iowa Class to the finest class of Warships ever built.

Drop Dead Gorgeous.

But you are right, The Bikini Tests was the Fate of Prinz Eugen, which was Bismark's Escort on it's Famous Mission.

Concur..you are spot on. The Iowa class BBs are gorgeous..clean lines...

The German ships look cluttered..in part because the keels and hulls were laid down to conform with treaties supposedly in effect at the time..they piled all the stuff on top..especially the AA turrets... later on

The German pocket battleships..Graf Spee, etc..had a menacing,powerful look..
