I actually think some of the heavy cruiser and battlecruiser designs were more beautiful than the full battleships, but if I'm picking one battleship for aesthetic appeal, I'd go with the Italians' second Littorio-class battleship, the Vittorio Veneto.

The design of my favorite part, the four secondary 6" triple-turrets, isn't as visible in that photo, and the best angled-shot I could find that shows them is low quality, so I'll "hide" it.

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
