Yes she is a sexy mo fo, nice bow and bridge, but I am not hugely keen on the straight funnels so plumped for the Southamptons instead. Leander - with that one large funnel is just soooo cool

It also reminds us of the sacrifice of her valiant crew, God rest their souls.


So many famous names ended up being ripped to pieces in the breakers yard.

Also a very sad end.

Except some ships that still lives in space.

Most Beautiful Old Girls Tarted Up For War

To be eligible for this category you must be an old WWI vintage capital ship that was essentially re-built during the inter-war years. We have just one group of three - the ship finishing bottom is eliminated and the top two go into the final.

Here we go -
