    still, i woulda thought that they did better then that. i mean i know long and thin ships roll easier, but i didnt think it was that bad. But then again ive never been to a battle, so i wouldnt really know. and thankx gettysburg, Ive always had an obcession about puncuation, the more the merrier.

    My favorite picture is her laying on the bottom, right where a Allied cruiser should be. [^]

    JK, she looks good on the water, but does look a little tipsy, but what to do, cruisers have that problem.
