  1. The Alaskas filled 4 of the 5 definitions of battle cruisers, but the Americans had some sort of phobia about using the term, so people come up with all sorts of ways to try and classify them as some sort of mega cruisers instead.

  2. Since you appear to want a debate, I'll respond. I live in a fairly laid back country (not the UK) that had a man with a gun kill a lot of people in 1996. The center-right government repsonded by banning guns and forcibly buying all guns in the community. The result is that we have had no mass shootings in 26 years, meanwhile the USA averages more than one mass shooting a week. The USA gun policy costs thousands of lives. Is your hobby really worth that?

  4. Hydrofoils had a fairly short life, they (and large hovercraft) were mostly made obsolete by the invention of large water-jet powered catamarans by a company called Incat in 1990. The fast cats were faster, more stable, more durable, cheaper to operate and they can be built to much larger sizes.
