  1. Uss Olympia needs help more. https://youtu.be/-5yzJsOB4EI Funds for ships is not a huge priority. They are not like dogs in the cold in ASPCA ads. Or those kids in Shriners Hospitals Ads.

  6. Ā @RauschgeneratorĀ  Sigh....šŸ™„ The North Sea is mined. Coal smoke draws aircraft. Feel free to shovel coal to the sea floor. The Kregsmarine has enough headaches. Why add a coal burning Monitor? Your alt fuel idea is not overcoming the logistics problem or other issues.

  11. Ā @RauschgeneratorĀ  Not at all. They had no coaling stations. It is not practical to refuel underway. And the smoke gives you away.

  12. Ā @Volunteer-per-order_OSullivanĀ  The RN and the UK can't afford vanity projects. The Axis is dead. The nation is going to take 20 years to rebuild. A dozen battleships in the 1950's is money better spent on the Fleet Air Arm.

  13. Ā @bkjeong4302Ā  I'm starting to warm to your view. Other than naval gunfire support, they have little Cold War role. The Soviet threat is Subs.....

  14. Ā @and15re1Ā  For What purpose? The US needs don't require Monitors. The only special type they need, are the China Gunboats.

  21. Ā @justdags6611Ā  Well.... in the water is simpler. Ship is huge and heavy. Kinda hard to move something as big as a building.
