    That shot is a bit misleading, that is part of the conning tower :) the hole in front of it is for B turrets Barbette

    Matt,
    Just try not to run over my tiny monitor with that monster, we're on the same side :)

    The Ersatz Hannover... is that an L 20 a class?

    Ersatz Hannovers are too common for my tastes. :) Now the real Hannover is another thing entirely.

    Ersatz Hannover is a Battlestations ship. I did tell our Hood captain that I'd see him next year on the water...

    with my distant battlebuddy building Battleship "F", I have decided to commit to OPERATION RHEINÜBUNG in 1/96. Planning has commenced on the POW , as well as the Prinze Eugan.
