  one of 5 British battleships hit by heavy fire at Jutland, she was not impaired. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Colossus_(1910)

  The Germans call the sea battle "Skagerrak." (Skaggerak is a body of water.) The British call the sea battle "Jutland." (Jutland is a peninsula.) Interesting difference in points of view. Both claimed victory as well.

  You wonder how much that single mast, with sails on it, could possibly have added to the propulsion of this giant boat. Anyone know what all those diagonal things are on the side of the ship?

• FrigateRN said:

  Anti-torpedo net booms. Soon discarded.

• Thad said:
