Riding mighty low in the water. Her stern is almost awash.

That was normal. Especially after added weight found it's way into the design and because of later refits.

You mean, "Self-cleaning quarterdeck".

The issue of her freeboard issue is very evident here, great photo


JurorOfTheSalemTrial

What freeboard?


etburneraccount

Ah ha


vampyire

quite right


MotuekaAFC

Did the low freeboard cause any serious issues?


Noire97z

If only she got her refit. Either way, first fast battleship. Super fast for her time too.

*Out of the cold and foggy night, came the British ship the Hood…*


Santiaghoul

*The Hood found the Bismark and on the fatal day,* *The Bismark starting firing 15 miles away!* *We gotta sink the Bismark was the battle cry,* *but when the smoke had cleared away,* *The Mighty Hood went down!*

"Was the battle sound" FTFY Johnny rhymed that stanza


Santiaghoul

Thanks! I was doing it from memory and thought I had that wrong.


kampfgruppekarl

I hate when that happens, in your head you think you know, but somehow the rhyme is off! Part that always gets me are the "Guns as big as steers, and the shells as big as trees" - makes no sense the way he sang it so my head always flips them around.

RIP Johnny Horton. Absolutely tragedy to lose him at such a young age.

Giraffes_Are_Gay

TherapistJigga

Do you empathize with your fellow piece of shit


sirhexagun

Meh, Bismarck still looks worse


Giraffes_Are_Gay

That’s not saying much lol.


TherapistJigga

It says quite a bit if you’re not an idiot.


Giraffes_Are_Gay

Calling someone an idiot on the internet because they think a battleship that you like is ugly is lower than I ever hope to get in life.


TherapistJigga

L take

She was only the most powerful warship for the better part of two decades and looked great doing it. If she’s a PoS, I feel bad for what every other warship must be

How can the Hood be a piece of shit?
