The Skyfox program aimed at reconstructing the T-33 s, transforming them into completely new aircraft. It ended up cancelled, since Portugal was the only customer interested, with 20 aircraft contracted. A shame, in my opinion!! From the book ′′ T-bird "

HMS Rodney? Let's lead with the big guns all up front.

 

[diopter]

Yes. 'Cherry Tree Class' because they were designed as larger ships but 'cut down' by the Washington Treaty of 1922, the design was limited to 35,000 tons and showed certain compromises. Reduce the amount of critical armor needed for the main gun ammunition.
Just like the French Dunkerque and Richelieu classes.

They made up for the missing turret by using 2 quad mounted turrets with an armored divide down the middle.

Here's the commonwealth equivalent of the M36. The Achilles mounted with the 17pounder

The Rodney was the big killer of the German battleship Bismarck after closing to point blank range. Oddly for a battleship, Rodney was fitted with torpedoes and its claimed that she hit Bismarck with one; the only case of one battleship torpedoing another.

That's a great shot of Fox.

Those CASA C-295 do get around a lot.Is it great plane for the money or just a matter of better ownership incentives?

Mandatory pictures.IS-2 is cool,much more interesting to me is Bren Carrier with strange pattern white eagle on it.Pattern eagle on IS-2 is standard,this one is very odd.

Likely lend lease to Soviets. 1 of 100,000 produced.
