Greatest Ship info

1-HMS Victory. Nelson's flaghip at Trafalgar. That combination of man and ship and battle makes an unbeatable troika and each an individual legend. 2 USS Washington Forgotten because the battles of the Coral Sea and Midway allegedly ended the battleships reign, the USS Washiington won the decisive battle at Guadalcanal by pulverizing the IJN Kirishima. 3 HMS Warspite-from Jutland to D-Day with pastings of the Germans at Narvik and the Italians at Calabria and Matapan-a great fighting battleship.4If I knew the name of the flagship at Salamis I would include this. Personally I think that the Scharnhorst is the most graceful of all ships-just a beautiful ship and the Bismarck and Yamatodeserve some sort of mention although neither could match up withthe Iowa class. HMS Dreadnought is more of a trendsetter than a great warship-although I believebthat it sank a submarine in WW1 which is odd, oh well, it's still HMS Victory at the head of the class in my opinion.
