Actually, the Wisconsin is bigger by like 15 feet.

the Big J is the top picture.

Okay. let's see the matchup.

Name: HMS Rodney

length: 710 feet

Beam: 106 feet

Mean Draught: 30 feet

displacement: 33,000+ tons

Speed: 23 knots

Firepower:

9-16" main guns (in 3 triple turrets, all mounted forward of the superstructure)

12-6" guns

8-4 inch AA

16-40mm AA

48- 2 pdr. Pompoms

61-20mm AA

Name: USS New Jersey

length: 890 feet

Beam: 108 feet

Max Draught: 36 feet

displacement: 52,000+ tons

Speed: 35 knots

Firepower:

9-16" main guns (in 3 triple turrets, 2 for 1 aft)

20-5" guns

80-40mm AA

50-20mm AA

So, there's the numbers. these are two of the biggest, meanest ships ever thought up. but, if they faced each other in open water, who would win?

here are pictures of the ships

I disagree! Just kidding. actually, I would hope that we can all keep ourselved civil in our disagreements, though it is hard when discussing certain topics. sometimes you get people who say such stupid and uneducated things, you just want to rip their heads off...but hopefully everyone can disagree peacefully.

He did post a warning, so with that in mind, I'd like to take this time to note how the families of the astronauts killed aboard the Shuttles Challenger and Columbia would respond to that. they'd probably give you a verbal chastising like you wouldn't believe. but, then again, what has NASA done for us, really? Only given us Satelite TV, Cable TV, a really cool roadside assistance system, GPS, a variety of new medicines pioneered in space. Not much, I know.

Geordi has a tendency to make last minute rolling escapes from danger.

interesting, really.

Nice, Reg.

I would like to, but I'd probably do mix and match stuff with carious models.

I like using the cruise control for long trips, but I find that I get distracted easily when I don't have to worry about actually using the gas pedal. so I leave it off.

During the Dominion War, the Cardassians kinda reminded me of the Italians in WWII. the Resistance took over and they turned on their former allies. aside from that, the Cardies always seemed a bit too eager to fight.

LOL! Very funny. luckily the Gulps (Great Lakes Police) have a sense of humor. I got pulled over today and he asked if I was carrying any weapons. "Ah, Well, aside from the Two TLAMs in the Trunk, no sir"

probably. most people look at size and assume that the Saucer is heavier, but one must also take into account that the warp field coils and other parts of the warp system could be constructed of a material that has maybe 2 or 3 Times the density of the materiels used in the construction of the ship's hull.

Voric, understand that if I refere to "Darryl" around here, I am directing such comments at Hardcharginsarge.

Ya know, Even though I am not a brit, I got alot of those and thought they were quite Funny, really. good ones, really.

Look at Voyager's design. while the Saucr section is broader and just as tall as the Engineering hull, there is probably more stuff packed into the Engineering hull. also, the hull overlaps are about where the forward landing struts are. it is very that Voyager was designed to be Stern heavy. certainly those warp nacelles aren't light. and the warp system. Like Ace said, the aft end has alot of the systems in it.

Mine shows my true spirit...My rank, Callsign, and a kick-*** pic

Guest Cast:

Jack Blessing as Dulmur

Charlie Brill as Arne Darvin

James W. Jansen as Lucsly

 

Dumlar and Lucsly, Rearrange the letters and what do you get? Muldar and Scully, of course. coincidence? Ha, not hardly. Anagrams are common in Star Trek...Example: MORN!

if it Ain't broke, don't fix it. I can see Riker getting a Soveriegn, Akira, or maybe even Defiant class starship.

Around where I live now, it's called "Pop", but in San Diego, it's called Soda. in parts of Wisconsin, it's Pop, Soda Pop, or Soda Water (The older folk say the latter)

Very nice work. especially in assimilating the startrek.com goers

I've been stationed in San Diego, where 65 is the average during the winter...then the navy decided to be cute and transfer me to Naval Station Great Mistakes.

I filled my truck up last night at around 2230, and I nearly busted my frozen fingers off trying to turn the ignition. it wasn't THAT cold, only -3 with a wind chill in the -20 area. well, I walked outside today and I almost thought it was summer! By george, we had a heat wave! it was 12 degrees!
