    Whitch Battle ship would you not want to be on when it sank, Bismark or Yamato? Have you seen the two wrecks? Yamato is a twisted pile on the bottom whil the Bismark is relitivley intact

    Every event that the public attend they all ask if a ship is Bismarck.

    I believe the USS Missouri is the most famous battleship in the world.

    Considering most people in the world today couldn't tell a battleship from a pt boat, mute question IMO.

    Bismarck, with every event someone asks "is this the Bismarck", this year I may say yes.

    Hey that boat looks like it turns real good, "kind of scale" or "what scale do you want it to be", or "gee my drawings have it just like that", or the best of last year "Hornbill made it that way" yeah right!

    Now that I think about it more....the reason Bis is more-or-less intact is that she was scuttled, so the hull filled with water from the bottom up. No large air spaces to collapse as she went down. Yammer, OTOH, capsized and went down like a rock. All those watertight, NON-flooded compartments crushed under water pressure and shredded the ship
