    Close, but no. This is more of a nick-name than a fleet or squadron.

    Nope, this referred to all the ships.

    No idea then. The sources I've seen simply refer to them as the Atlantic fleet.

    Since this thread is too fun to die, I thought I'd resurrect it:
    My 1st ship in the hobby was a Von der Tann. I frequently joked with my fellow battlers that it should be called "Leviathan". Why?

    Do you have any pictures of her, or would that give it away? :)

    I may have some old print photos of her buried somewhere. Ship was active in the hobby ~1996-1999. But no visual really needed to solve the riddle.

    Nope. BattlersConnection hull.

    A hint: The ship was not solitary or poor.

    I did some brainstorming and I think I got it.

    Because she was such an old ship?
