Would make a nice Christmas gift but there isn't a tree big enough to park it under,not even a California redwood!

With its engines removed the price is to high for an exclusive luxury ship

We could use the proceeds from the MAIW store to get it.

SUNK?!?!? No, no, no!!! She's on display on my piano in my living room.
BTW, Battleship Bismarck sank on 27 May 1941 at 10:36 am. During the entire operation died about 3400 men. (RIP)

including the crew of the Hood...only 3 survived from that ship, and 110 odd from Bismark, a harrowing thought...

Nice choice. The Yamato was so modern looking compared to other ships of its age. I have the Hood and the New Jersey to do. I've always liked the look of the Scharnhorst so that is also on the list to do.
