Butt ugly they are.......

Sorry Andy my mistake I meant the Atlantic conveyor.

klcarrol, I think that you have just fallen victim to a case of British irony!. As Ronin_32 has classic Blackadder as his sig., this gives a clue...

@keilhauler;

Please don't loose sight of the fact that we can come to the same conclusion for different reasons!

...and @M0ttie;

Thank you for returning to the original point: ...Butt Ugly they are!!!

The only problem I have with these carriers is exactly what Mottie has alluded too, the British government specialises in doing things half-assed and I really hope we are not funding two massive and expensive white elephants. That money could be spent on many better naval projects. The days of Britania ruling the waves are over and we should be focusing on other projects.

I just couldn't help myself to notice the resemblance to imperial star destroyers complete with shield generators on each side of the tower....

(ugly! true dat!)

This has to rank as onee of the ugliest ships of all time, French pre-dreadnought Bouvet.


And if anyone comes across this hideous pile, please sink it!

And if anyone comes across this hideous pile, please sink it!

I certainly will! .....But I can promise you that I won't claim the tonnage:

.....How do you log sinking a 104,000 ton, butt-ugly, floating apartment building??

I was in Cape Town when The World was docked there, maybe I am nuts but I just can not find any ship ugly, for me they all have a certain allure.

agreed that's an ugly ship that started this thread. But ugly carriers are hardly anything new. I mean has anyone SEEN HMS Furious?
