Oh is there an issue with mentioning it? Hope I haven't caused the site a problem?
Only to the French by mentioning their ships are hotels.
OK thanks. You had me worried for a moment.

I had to mention that i did not post the link to the clip you mentioned because i forgot it and not that mentioning something like this would upset the French and thus block this forum from being seen in thier country.

Never fear, Senior. Although it would certainly frighten the enemy, I am not a monster!
If he's thinking the same thing as I am I think its less frighten the enemy than disable them by laughing fits. As a certain naval youtube poster puts it when hotels go to war.
There is an old saying about ships. "If she looks right she'll sail right." Looks like these ships not only were not pleasing to the eye but had "institutional stability" and and reserve buoyancy problems.

Remove the back two turrets and make them into VLS launchers, you get a missile battleship with a lot of fire power.
