You act like I'm an idiot, do you think I don't know what the Navy does? SEALS are Navy, so comparing them with the Navy is like comparing your **** with your nose, I hope your **** wins, or you need meds. And Navy has just been getting further off shore ever since it began, used to be they would get close to shore and start bombarding with there huge guns, and go broadside with other ships, but it's all kind of changed, ships these days are basically big missle platforms, thats basically all the Missouri did during the Pursian Gulf war, it was a huge missle platform, it fired it's guns a few more times, but only a few. Most ships these days either have like one or two guns, if any. Most just use missles, they are more accurate and deadly but wheres the fun in that, Missles quite often make big booms, but some of them not as big as the guns like the 16" guns on the Missouri, which was going to be outfit with some new triple 18" guns by the end of the war, but it was cancled when it headed for Tokyo for the signing. The Germans were working on building a ship that was to be 3 times longer than the Yamato, the largest battleship ever made. It was called the H39 class, and maybe an H44 class later, the H39 was being built in a dry dock in Hamburg, but was bombed near the end of the war, the H44 was to be twice as long as the H39, it never made it off the ground because of it's size. Had the German's been able to get these two ships off the ground and into the port, they might have stood a chance in completing there world domination, the H39 was to carry four triple 20" guns, and the H44 was to carry four 27" guns, which in the gun world, is huge. There are plans for an even bigger ship to be made by the German's, called the Ludwigshaffen H50 class, it was going to be about 1/3rd times longer than the H44, but carry 6 triple 30" guns, and 40 smaller double 5" inch guns for AA and smaller ships like destroyers and cruisers. it was going to have almost 100 40mm Quad Bofors like the ones on the Missouri, and another 300 40mm single Bofors. All for AA, this ship was built to take on a fleet. It was set to be begin construction in 1947, but after WWII with the treaty, it was never even really considered, so it was lost before even any good plans were made. Our history teacher in Germany was obsessed with ships and all he really talked about, hwo he even got his hands on any ideas about the H50, is beyond me, lol. I got off topic, but don't forget the Navy, thats all.
