Naval Thread

Dumping a bunch of photos of naval related things. All of this is coming out of my big maritime photo folder so I might accidentally dump some old pictures of merchant vessels or something too. Feel free to contribute and shitpost. No ChiCom shills please.

cute post is Jow Forumsute.

This painting is a pretty good example of just how backwards a lot of naval thinking was at the time. Contrary to what a lot of people think, naval battles between standing fleets are actually incredibly rare, they only happen a few times a century in most cases. The result being that most naval tacticians have absolutely no idea what the next naval battle would be like. If you asked a European admiral in the late 1800s what he thought a fleet battle would be like, he would probably say it would consist mostly of broadsides, ramming, and boarding. You can see the cutlasses and firearms mounted next to the cannon, the naval theorists at the time really thought that combat between fleets would consist of boarding actions and whatnot. It's just kinda funny how, contrary to most other fields of study, the theory of naval warfare is usually a step backwards from reality as opposed to the opposite.
