Almost forgot a ship picture:



HMAS Australia (II) a County-class Heavy Cruiser, not to be mistaken for Australia II (KA6)



an Australian 12-metre-class America's Cup challenge racing yacht that was the first successful America's Cup challenger, ending a 132-year tenure (with 26 successful defences) by the New York Yacht Club.

There are other ones in Japanese versions of series we didn't see brought over as Starblazers (original series)

Space Battleships Arizona and Prince of Wales appear EXTREMELY briefly in third Starblazers series. Bolon Wars , where all voice actors were replaced. Which was episode 20 of that series, which you can read about the episode here.

Anyways, back to actual navy ships pictures.
HMS Prince of Wales

Okay, a fascinating shot which demonstrates some rarely seen aspects of modern(ish) naval design:



Delta-IV class Ekaterinburg, following a dockyard fire. You can visualise the scanning field of the sonar rather nicely, especially with the cutout at the lower front.

I hate to judge a ship after a major fire, but yeah, she looks worn out far beyond what the fire would have done.

At least they are stored.  Lots of nuclear material is on the bottom of the Kara sea including a few intact subs.    :o

Nope. Stories that USS Scorpion was sunk by a Soviet sub in revenge for the loss of K-129 are stupid falsehoods. That's about the closest I can think of.

Good news is the lab boys say the symptoms of asbestos poisoning show an immediate latency of 44.6 years. So if you're thirty or over you're laughing.

Yeah, I've heard of the Scorpion and its sinking, I just had never heard anything about the belief that it was anything other than an accident.
