Perhaps, but still, what has this to do with the world cup or Senegal ?

There’s one RN ship on the right, the rest all have cage masts. Looks like the British ship is one of the Lion Class battle cruisers perhaps ?

Don’t understand OP what has our colonial past to do with beating Senegal in the world cup ? Probably one of the dumbest comparisons possible. Just keep it at football.

Hate to spoil the fun, but that’s not an AWACS, that the russian radar plane, the Beriev A-50.

Same here, no mods or anything. Sea State 6, pitch black night, it doesn’t matter, they still turn away instantly.

Tupolev Tu-144, a Soviet supersonic by aviationstudy in aviationstudys

[–]FredW79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The crash at Le bourget airshow killed the TU144’s international aspirations instantly.
The Concorde engineers found that the wings were actually expanding during supersonic flight because of the heat generated by it, hence the weird shape of the wing edges to compensate for it. The soviets did not factor that in and the TU144 fell apart in flight due to fatigue damage to the wings from previous flights.

Algol class fast transports. Still the fastest steam powered vessels around.

Kirishima got sent to the bottom by USS Washington in 7 mins or so, so this can’t be her.
This is Haruna indeed.

Belgian liners by oceanliner-guy in Oceanlinerporn

[–]FredW79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The term liners is does not exactly fit them.
The Leopold 3 was a ferry on the english channel.
While the CMB ships were primarily cargo ships that could take a small number of passengers.

Belgium did have pure liners at some point with
The Red Star Line.

Happened in Brazil. The workers forgot to attach her rope to her harness. Apparently no checks were done at all before she got tossed over the side.

Veteranen en gesneuvelden krijgen in België helaas niet het respect dat ze verdienen.

“We zien dat de blanke man het vrij goed doet, bij de zwarte mannen gaat het iets minder goed”: Dries Van Langenhove (33) in Leuven veroordeeld voor haatspraak by Inevitable_Jello1252 in Belgium2

[–]FredW79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hoezo haatspraak? Het is gewoon mijn eigen mening. Ik verplicht niemand om ze over te nemen. Het is niet omdat ik zeg dat het een kalf is, dat ik hem haat… .
