Hehe... You laugh but HT said there may be big battlewagons in AH. So seeing the 'Argo' may be a reality someday.

Remember, the Argo was the recomissioned Japanese battleship, the "Yamato" the biggest battleship built at that time. I am looking for the tech data, but I believe she carried 12 18" guns (457mm).

Can you imagine the shore pounding with that kind of firepower?

Bah have you guys seen Rough Necks "Starship troopers"

[Ripsnort]

Oh, forgot to add, the slower boats with bigger guns will do more damage, and the guys driving the faster boats will complain about it, historically accurate or not!

Thanks Karnak

[TheWobble]

can you eject from your boat, if so can you float around on a raft like a cuban?  

[LePaul]

Yes but it takes 9 months before the countries figure out which one you belong in

Dat was a cool show, but it came on a 530AM here. Happened to catch on Sci-Fi a few times before the dudes that made it switched over to making that dopy "Max Steel" show.

We'll keep peace alive
