  1. Check a few drydocks ago dude. He's had them over an hour already ;)

  2.  @rossswenson532  they didn't come close and if you think about it. You answered your own question. If one side has completely cracked wide open the other side's codes*. Then they would know if the enemy had broken their own codes. It'd be blatebtly obvious. Which is why you get a logarithmic scale of sucess with these things. *Yes I know there were times enigma wasn't read real time. But my point stands

  3.  @lamwen03  not all of them. I think the polish would disagree on the freedom part. Also. The British people never lost their freedom ;)

  4.  @MS-gr2nv  I think you may need to take rudimentary economics and history again....

  5. Plus you could be picky and point out Britain had no "CVs" and never has had a single "CV" in service ;)

  6. I'll try and dig out the source. But I read that actually it couldn't have happened. Their wasn't enough raw material to make more batteries. That would have been the bottle neck. Makes sense when you think about it... It wasn't a lack of workers or steel and it's not like a battleship and a u boat would b built on the same slipway. So thats not a factor. Bugger me if I can remember the source.

  7. The gift of hindsight...

  8. Dumb question. But.... What do you mean? I can't think of a single example other than Hood. And that was a one in a million* lucky shot * Maybe less. But still it wasn't skill, it was definitely luck.

  9. Lol what Frank said. Consider all the tourist hot spots. The closest is Edinburgh and that's hardly next door. The chance of any museum ship being there and self supporting financially is hard to fathom. I'm in the NE of England and I wouldn't drive to scapa flow to see a ship unless I planned my entire holiday around it. Which I would do. But in commenting on a naval history channel... The vast majority of people in mainland UK just wouldn't make the drive

  10. Even that battle wasn't 1:1 not by a long shot. Not unless you say both sides had a modern battleship and both had a quasai capital ship but 1 side had cruiser support (they may not have landed shot. But the Germans knew they were closing and therefore they played a part in the battle.)
