Well I'd say GS core problem was that she was built to a political rather than military specification. If you wanted a good surface raider then an...
My ships have a sort of artifical worm hole generator. I've tried to avoid saying much about it since any kind of FTL is pure handwavium, which...
I heard a good one that I think I'd like on my tombstone. Never play Chicken with a Kamikaze :D
I read an account by an ex RN destroyer skipper, he was fairly critical of the Canadian navy. The allowence he made however was that that since...
I think Simonr1978 has hit the nail on the head. With small stuff you can probably copy it and get it into production in a reasonable time frame....
Thems is sometimes the breaks. This is what came up with in the way of scifi action http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/libr/e/b/ ... 1.htm.html...
This site gives detail of the Canadian Navy http://uboat.net/allies/warships/listing.html?navy=HMCS Pre WW2 their navy was very small (few...
If nothing else it went in different directions to the story I'm basing them on.

Secrecy is of course and necessity for any military force in the field. Allowing enemies or potential enemies to know your position and limitation...
I kid you not, I came across it in a mag a month or two back. Fortunately the person that did the car conversion kept all the bits he pulled out...
If dead men tell no tails, then they certainly don't fill out after action reports.
In my opinion the 2 terms idea is probably one of the best points of the American system, and certainly a credit to G Washington for starting the...
Probably very difficult for someone on the ground without decent radar (or any radar at all) to have the 'big picture' necessary to offer any...
Just a joke. Given that the Iowas were built twenty years later than the Nelsons, and a much larger displacement they would have had no excuse for...
The Iowas? Paa! Their the boy band of the battleship world. What you need is the Nelsons, ships that cause the enemy gunnery officers to poke out...
It should pointed out that any defence can be saturated, if you throw enough unpleasantness at it. However if you perhaps have fire ten...
As I understand it the idea of Polish Cavaly charging tanks is a false myth. (in fact I think the Polish mounted troops were actually more like...
