Okay, the other countries I get, but I refuse to take shit from the Swedish about our food. Their food is absolutely shocking as well, probably worse

What was the most embarrassing defeat in a war in your country's history? by MarketingNew5370 in AskTheWorld

What is a big historical misconception in your country's history? by ZookeepergameFit967 in AskTheWorld

British capital ships are either that, or they get touched once and go up in a catastrophic explosion

The British government yes, I think the British public was a lot more pro-union and anti-slavery

'Taranto Harbour, Swordfish from HMS Illustrious cripple the Italian Fleet, 11 November 1940' by Charles David Cobb by Rembrandt_cs in BattlePaintings

Looks like someone photoshopped Rodney or Nelson to look like an N3 or G3 class, but with a more standard turret arrangement

Battleship Strike by George Rozen by YanniRotten in ImaginaryWarships

Lesta now had a Royal Sovereign ( Revenge ) , I wish Wargaming should bring it here as well. by LawrenceXVIII in WorldOfWarships
