Smile Favorite Ships - POLL

I posted this over at Steel Navy today and I thought I'd bring the fun over here to the ships forum and to expand the poll.

Here's a little something to break up the bordem on a Wednesday. I'll collect all the responses at the end of a day or two and summarize in a poll results post...

For USN fans. I want your favorite ship in each class, then your favorite ship in each of the following navys (Japan, Germany, Great Britian, Russia and Italy)

I'll go first to get things rolling...

Favorite USN subjects

BB - TENNESSEE BB-43
CA - SALEM CA-139
CL - JUNEAU CL-52
DD - LAFFEY DD-459
Other - KNOXVILLE PF-64, HOLLAND AS-32

Japan

Thanks guys. Keep it going. Between the list here and over at steel navy, I'm building a very diverse list. However, some trends are emerging.

Despite often being referred to as one of the uggliest BB's ever, HMS Rodney is getting a lot of "love" today.
