All this talk about smoke ... yes, it's usually near-invisible. But here's HMS Inflexible (allegedly) at the Falklands, renowned for being one of the smokiest engagements of the War. Black smoke => bad spotting => awful hit rates.



That's very black indeed.

That said, in the balance between "no smoke" and "white smoke", I think I'd prefer some visual effect and go for white smoke for my Dreadnought - especially when the output is just water droplets which are neither going to stain the model nor destroy the environment.

Coal fired warships were indeed notorious for funnel smoke when working up to full speed. Just look at the pictures of Jutland.
