  See, the United States named our battleships after things like North Carolina and New Jersey, and they’re currently on display in North Carolina and New Jersey.

  See also the HMS Dreadnaught. A ship named “fear nothing” who spent most of her career relegated to coastal defence because she was outdated and would’ve been an easy target.

    Dreadnought’s one score was ramming and sinking a U-boat. It gets more interesting because that U-boat was commanded by Otto Weddingen, who had previously commanded a really obsolete old U-boat named “U-9” when she sank three armored cruisers in one attack while submerged, a feat that shocked everyone into realizing the actual threat posed by submarines.

    Jutland wastes?

    It is pretty impressive that they apparently managed to get the ship moved into Jutland.

    Jut means good in my local dialect so I think it’s a good place

  Yeah, that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point.

  If I were naming a ship, I would name it the HMS Completely Vulnerable.

  If the ship is called Invincible

  then why can I see it?

  original

  • SavinDWhales@lemmy.world ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Because it’s not called invisible. That’s hard to spot.
