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?

Pre wetting was to wash away potential radioactive contamination. Recent times it seems they discovered it also has a role in radar stealth, the water droplets absorb radio waves?👍

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.
