And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

German battleship size comparison, from the first Dreadnought designs to the legendary Bismarck.
We had one about that size of the Pennsylvania at NROTC Penn State. It was really impressive. A few months later we started on Soviet sweat and the idea of a BB surviving the rigors of modern combat was made clear.
As Kaiser and Konig Albert are both Kaiser-class ships, shouldn't Konig Albert be replaced with Helgoland, considering that the Helgolands follow the Nassaus in construction order?
Blohm & Voss shipyard, in Hamburg, Germany, built the Bismarck.
ReplyDeleteThey have a model, about 10 feet long, in their main office.
Beautiful ship.
