I just barely squeaked by on my smog check, so I will have a registered car for at least two more years! Unless it explodes or something.

Best day of the year tomorrow!!!

Plus, I only had to go to one stand to find an Afghanistan badge this year. I also got the UN forces badge - I've been saying they should make one for years.

Oh, and it is the first year ever you can legally play Two Up in Queensland without a permit XD

Perhaps that's why you're currently unemployed. There's clearly a connection there...

Nah. Iowa-class is a few metres longer and much faster, but has a shorter beam and its tonnage displacement is absolutely dwarfed by the Yamato-class. The gun-caliber was lower as well during WW2.
So if size (and/or bulk) is all that matters, which 'greatest' implies, then...

It takes more than size and bulk to make a ship great. When it comes to battleships, nothing beats the Mighty Mo as far as I'm concerned.

@Loki. M. Bay? I think you might be confused. Peter Berg directed BATTLESHIP.

Also: Your affinity for Matthew Reilly baffles me. That man could not write a grocery list, let alone a proper novel. ^_^

Think Tapper forgot something, the surrender of Japan was signed on the Missouri, that's something that also makes the Mighty Mo great according to some people.

But if there was one ship in my opinion that was great in WWII, it was the Big E, a.k.a. CV-6 Enterprise. .

What's making me happy that I have received another batch of books today including two books about the Big E. ^_^

QT: P.Berg than ^_^

I love Matthew Reilly books. You have to take them for what they are though - action films on paper.

Dutch: Like I said, a matter of opinion.

Heck, I'd be willing to make a case for the HMS Vampire but that would be personal preference more than anything else. XD

Didn't forget it. McArthur needed to arrive somewhere and it is tradition that surrenders take place on a location that forces ~~the French~~ the surrendering party to come to the enemy as a supplicant and sign it in full front of the enemy's might. What better place than a battleship? Imho, it says nothing about the battleship itself, though.

I mean, no-one's saying the train carriage where the 1918 war was concluded is the most important train-car ever, are they?

Except that wasn't a battleship ^_^

I sprained my ankle watching the game and when the umpire sent it to the bloody tv ref I started shouting something along the lines of - Even if I have to hobble the whole way to f***ing Victoria I will come down there and tear your bloody spine out myself if you do not award that goal! - Then, 40 seconds out from fulltime the signal was lost and my friend ended up doing aerobatics to get it back so I could see us win. Then the pain from my ankle registered and I almost passed out. Great game XD
