How about a nice cyan with a tropical sunset motif then? I just feel most boats DON'T have interesting paintjobs...


Sounds remarkably like fagouflage for the rainbow navy....lmao...it would clash with the color of the water. But I'm not much for fashion anyway.... ;)

I'm not wild about that shade of grey. I think a nice salmon pink would be far more fetching ;D

Hows about black with flames coming from the waterline? ;D

Not sure whats behind the huge wall? This picture was taken on the 4th when they were shipping out. You can see more of the AN/SPY-1 phased array radar on the back of the super structure.

It's the front face of the forward superstructure. It's just really tall and bleak and ugly really.


I know I'm probably a wee bit bias but as far as looks go for a modern warship the batch 3 type 42 destroyer takes some beating in my opinion.

Since this has turned into "mine is more beautiful than yours", I'm gonna join in with the german 123 class frigate...

...which went on a "let's waste 440 000 000 Euros!" cruise into the Mediterranean last year.


P.S: The Ticonderoga class cruisers don't look that ugly to me.

LMAO, well, I don't figure any of these ships are much of a chick magnet.... ;)

But I must admit that the British Type 42 and the German 123 frigate are good looking ships and I agree with Heretic, the Ticonderoga Class aren't all that ugly. There has been far worst looking naval vessels.

I'd prefer a tank over one of those disgusting SUVs anytime.
Huge advantage: You'll always find a parking spot. ;D

You'd be suprised how comfortable the driver's seat in a Leopard 2 actually is! You can even sleep with your legs stretched out down there...other than the rest of the crew.  ;)

You're ALL deluded!!! Except for Ozzy. I think we know who the REAL winner is in the "beautiful ships" department. The Soviet Victor III class submarine... Ooooh... It looks like a 747 crossed with a sub...  :o
