And all those guns are bore sighted, optical ranging and gun laying was in it's infancy at that time....  Hit probability on the open ocean was down in the sub ten percent range... 12% hit ratio was considered magnificent gunnery skills.... It's why battle range was only a third of effective range, which was a third of maximum range... At Manila Bay Admiral Dewey's little fleet fired over 17,000 rounds scoring 850 hits of all types.... It wasn't much better when Jutland came around....Effective range was like 10-12k yards... Naval Gunnery was still an art form...

 

Compare that to 30 years later..... (10-12k yards was considered point blank range on optics, then the discussion of radar control starts)

I wonder how well a side hit by a tomahawk or a Shval would go on a ww2 battleship 

Probably similar to an Exocet and the USS Cole....

 

It's why we have the most powerful big huge armored floating museums in the world...

He's not the only one... $57,000 dollars was donated in Chris P. Bacon's name after the piglet died from smoke inhalation from a barn fire... The money was sent to Cornell University...

 

No joke....

The detailing is looking superb Greg, nice work.  All that extra detail really takes your model up to another level.

 

cheers

I’m trying to get some back ground stuff done, lots of fittings getting pre painted. As the ship will have rolled torpedo nets I need to find a decent representation. So braided wire, two types to sit on the Photo etch steel shelves. I’ll paint both and go with what looks best, but after pulling out in the rubber inner of the Tamiya tube makes it sit better
