Looking at the pics of the new daring, its one of those you either love or hate, read somewhere that the type 22 has been voted the most handsome warship ever, must need glassess eh
so what do you lot think is the most handsome warship.

Battle class destroyers, well most handsome for that ww2 period.

Mind you like all things colours, cars, decoration, holidays....long list of all things, Its just a matter of personal taste.

Für mich, Scharnhorst und Gneisenau.

For me it has to be WW1 Emden....

How about Vanguard, even if it did look more American than British?

Town class cruisers.

The Bismarck class does it for me. Superb altantic bow and hull coupled to a stable gun platform and a well balanced topside arrangement. The only other hull that does it like that for me is the QE2.

Got to be the Type 21 Frigate.

Italian Battleship "Vittorio Veneto" does it for me...

Jonty · « **Reply #11 on:** September 07, 2007, 11:08:08 pm »

Funny, Banjo, That's exactly what I was going to suggest before coming over all patriotic.

Two votes for the Vittorio Veneto!

Depends how far back you go but HMS Victory has always been my favourite :)

Yamato and Musashi have my vote, the shape of the hull is spot on. Power and grace in one. Smudge

Almost anything built before 1900, preferably with the funnels side-by-side and not painted grey!
