    I was looking though some photos of a battle, and I found this picture of this ship that I couldn't Identify.
    It's the one in the middle.
    Thanks, Beaver

    It looks Italian, not a Littorio class but the smaller Cavour or Duilio Type ships.

    I am going to say P Kreuzer, look at the elevated A turret, its a german triple 11" gun, its Big gun, so it would be legal, only one single main gun turret up front. I say its Pkreuzer

    Yep, that's Kreuzer P. I helped build the hull for it. That was one of the last wooden hulls we made before we started using twin keels to form a water channel.

    Thanks everybody,
    Are they a German ship? I searched them on google, and couldn't find any info.

    They are a follow on panzershiff, designed for high speed 34-35 knots. The Germans felt that the ship was disproportionate to its capabilities, and ended up building the Scharnhorst class instead. I dont like wiki, but heres a start for you to find out some info. They are great boats, I have one in Treaty that every new skipper in my fleet learns on.

    Huh. cool. the tape distracted me there...

    Is anybody in Fast Gun using blue masking tape as a patch? Seems quick, but not as durable..

    I would not recommend it. We take a lot more damage and move around much more quickly. Just like it would be a waste of time to use sigment or dope on a big gun ship. Different techniques for different games.

    I've done it. Needs a really dry hull to stick, and the least tacky blue tape doesn't stick well enough. Usually have to do longer pieces. I haven't bothered with doing it that way for a few years though.
    It is definitely not a long term solution.

    Biz turret on "B".

    Fuggly to the max. And it isn't a Italian , they don't build ugly IMO, just ineffective.
