That's supposed to be a battleship? Right on, ok, now I know why I have never heard any stories about the victories of the Chinese Navy.

But by god, look at the shells it carries. Not bad for a cruise ship. But then again, this was 1881 I believe. We're not talking about a Dreadnought or anything like that. ![]() NEWSFLASH Royal Australian Navy re-furbishes the HMAS Tinnie. |

"Records show that the Dingyuan was recognized as the most advanced battleship of its time, better than any ship in the fleets of Great Britain and Germany." and it's a cool looking ship. But I don't understand what particular significance this ship has that it was re-made. I mean, I read that wikipedia source and they said it was hurt so bad it had to be scuttled. Normally we praise ships like the Nimitz carrier that have proven invaluable in wartime and never sunk or the Battleship Texas which was in service for nearly 60 years and, again, never sunk. Praising a ship that was in, what, one battle and got sunk seems odd to me. |

Allright Tinnie. Lock and load a full broadside of Foster's. Ready, aim, guzzle. “War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.” —John Stuart Mill |

Fosters will be ineffective sir, we need something of sterner stuff. May I suggest a volley of Carlton Draught, followed by a full broadside of Bundaberg Rum. That'll teach em.

Looks like the old Nantucket Lightship
