>Say something nice about her!
She's still got those aesthetic WWI style masts.

Speaking of WWI-era features, are there any photos of her with her forward casemate gun battery still in place?

>clipper bow
Love it!
>12 gun broadside
Fuck yeah!

No, because they were plated over during construction.

She and her younger sisters absolutely bitchslap anything Euros/Nips were making at the time.

Re-purpose that baby.
Install VLS, lasers, rail guns, put all that new shit on her.

Big "if" there senpai.

Those lattice masts make my dick erect for some reason.

Atleast it's not the Arizona

She was wet as hell. She would have been barely operational in the rough Atlantic.

I really like the whole concept of the standard-type for its time and lattice masts look great.
Also like how eventually the standard-types were upgraded and modified.

Euros and Nippon wre not making anything at that time. Euros were still on the brink due to WW1 and Nippon just had a catastrophic earth quake right at the main shipyard.

>she is my favorite battleship in world of warships online
Pic unrelated.

We could use another titanic tier event to kill a bunch of millionaires

hearty kek

I like the new mex and all but dammit I dont know why but I still thing this thing is cool as hell, I mean it sucked and wasn't able to fire all turrets at the same time or it would sink itself but still that design is fucking SWEET.

I still like Richelieu better as an "all main guns forward" battleship design.

...mostly because of the outrageous pile of seven secondary gun turrets on her ass.

Terrible and thin armor scheme with awful cruising radius thanks to mixed oil/coal burning powerplant. Try again.
Incorrect, the Standard Types had very predictable roll periods and were considered good sea ships in any climate.
Nips were building two Ises, two Nagatos, and had just finished two Fusous. Bongs were finishing the R class and started shitting out their retarded "light" battlecruisers and the one Admiral class.

>Anything mexico
It needs to go back.
