Hey Gents:

This is just an FYI for all the Warship guys and others interested out there.
The History Channel is running four 1 hour Episodes of Battleships.
From the description of the episodes it looks like a total timeline of the evolution of these beauties. The fifth one being Gunboats of Vietnam.
Thought I would just throw this one out here so everyone interested may set the VCR. They are running twice today. 1st set starts at 8 am til 1 pm and the second set starts at 2pm and runs til 6pm. ( all times are EST).
Hope this gets you some info you may not have known.

Paul

Yes, thanks for the heads up Warlock0322. I'm beginning to think that if I watch this series one more time my wife will leave me. I've seen it at least three times and I agree with Modelguy2, it is an excellent series. My favorite shots from it our the HMS Hood in color either pre war, or very soon after the start of the war. The "Mighty 'ood" looked awfully good.
