Discussions of cruisers and San Francisco remind me of the Pacino movie "Cruising", and make me go "ick, ick, ick"! Indifferent

So long folks!

Cruisers are cool because they actually fought...they weren't husbaned and squandered away like most battleships in WW2...

Submariners in WW2 had the highest loss rate (by percentage) of any military group. Just throwin' that out there....

Okay, that would be a good recruiting slogan---"Join us and die"....

My grandpa said that whenever the German U-boot crew had landlaw in Trondheim, where he lived and I am born, the Germans would go on a drunken rampage. It was just to get as much fun as they could, as they were most likely to die on their next patrol...

Where's the love for battleships?  You wouldn't have crusiers without first the battleships.  but you gotta love the aircraft carrier to.

I love the steam trawler, wartime modified with a 75mm, waving a Norwegian flag and going shuttle from Norway to England and back. That is my definite love!

 More or less like that, with a cannon on the front... Smile

 

You also got the better equipped Shetland people, who went in more or less military boats.. England to Norway and back and over again.. With supplies, commandoes, saboteurs, refugees and more...

I still prefer the trawler!

 

I also have to agree with Manny.. Cruisers are very nice ships..!

The New Orleans class is my favorite...they fought like carzy in WW2.  I think half of the class were lost before war's end and the San Francisco was the most decorated ship in history...

Enterprise was a carrier.

I love the Indy-class cruisers.

You are right, my mistake---but she was the most decorated of her class...I'm not sure where she stands in overall ranking among all classes and types...

Hey,whatsa matta for youse? Donn,t anyone love TIN CANS?? No not the one your beer comes in, but those scrappy fighters that showed how to go in harms way!!.They need lovin too.I caress my model of my ship DD846 every night before I retire.She was a good home and I made a lot of friends too.Cruisers and carriers had to much brass running around on deck!! And I don,t mean fixed objects attached to the ship permanently!!       tankerbuilder
