No clue, but CC-5 USS Constitution beats out BB-4 USS Iowa any day of the week.

You see, "C" is a bigger letter than "B", 5 > 4 and Constitution has more letters and syllables than Iowa, in addition to being older. Obviously, it must win.Sea Skimmer wrote:Hardly even sporting. *Prepares to go hunting in Africa with a 12 pounder field gun*phongn wrote:No clue, but CC-5 USS Constitution beats out BB-4 USS Iowa any day of the week.

Master & Commander rocks, but Hornblower is the best I have to say.

This isn't even fair. The Iowa has absolutely no way to even attempt to hit a target that's in orbit.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he meant Old Ironsides, not the first ship of the ST Constitution class.Graeme Dice wrote:This isn't even fair. The Iowa has absolutely no way to even attempt to hit a target that's in orbit.

If she was rearmed with the HARP modified 16-inch gun and a new discarding sabot round that might not be the case.Graeme Dice wrote:This isn't even fair. The Iowa has absolutely no way to even attempt to hit a target that's in orbit.

Even Lexington and Saratoga's 8 inch guns as originally built would have outclassed poor BB-4. They would have outranged her and had killing penetration.phongn wrote:Yes, yes, I know CC-5 was never built, so sue me.Kitsune wrote:And are you going to sell me some swamp land aroudnb where you livephongn wrote:No clue, but CC-5 USS Constitution beats out BB-4 USS Iowa any day of the week.
