Come on, it was a disgrace of a ship. This is what happens when you have artists instead of shipwrights building a vessel.

In retrospect it actually got better off than ships like Enterprise that just got turned into cutlery. Still, turning the last imperial battleship into nuke fodder was pretty disgraceful.

>>3324749
Remember the anglos never apologized for Mers el-Kebir either.

Graaf Von Spee, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau had the best runs for german navy in the WW2. Graaf Von Spee had a pretty doomed fate. Was Tirpitz not finished by the time Bismarck tried to get into the North Atlantic? I always thought it would have been a good story if both ships were on that mission.

>>3324069
This.

Never did anything worthwhile during her 20 years of service.

>>3325349
>her

I never understood this faggotry. What, it's a term of endearment? Sounds stupid, especially if you speak about a ship that you've never sailed on... I dont meant directly you, but in general

Operation Compass was a fucking mess

>>3325407
It is one of the quirks of the English language, possibly a holdover from the days when English had grammatical genders.

>>3325479
When was that? I am asking seriously.

Flor do Mar or Flor de la Mar (Flower of the Sea), spelled Frol de la Mar in all Portuguese chronicles of the 16th century, was a Portuguese nau (carrack) of 400 tons, which over nine years participated in decisive events in the Indian Ocean until her sinking in November 1511. Nobleman Afonso de Albuquerque was returning from the conquest of Malacca, bringing with him a large treasure trove for the Portuguese king, when the ship was lost off the coast of Sumatra. A replica of Flor do Mar is housed in the Maritime Museum in Malacca, Malaysia.


Flor do Mar was built in Lisbon in 1502, being one of the finest vessels of the time. She was built for the Portuguese India run. At 400 tons, she was the largest carrack yet built, nearly twice the size of the largest ships that had gone on previous runs.
Flor do Mar's longevity was remarkable. At a time when India ships were built for only three or four years of useful service, Flor do Mar was one of the longest-lasting ships of the India run.
Despite already being deemed unsafe, Flor do Mar served to support the conquest of Malacca, then the largest commercial center of the East Indies. Given her large capacity, Afonso de Albuquerque decided to use the ship to transport the vast treasure looted from the Sultan of Malacca's palace back to Portugal.

When Flor do Mar came out of Malacca in late 1511 and sailed along the north-east Sumatran state of Pasé, in the Strait of Malacca, she was caught in a storm and wrecked on some shoals, causing numerous casualties. The ship did not survive the storm and sank during the night of 20 November 1511, off Timia Point in the Kingdom of Aru, Sumatra.

Afonso de Albuquerque was saved in the most difficult conditions, using an improvised raft, but the cargo was irremediably lost. Flor de la Mar still lies undiscovered in the seabed.

Attempts to locate and salvage the shipwreck have been the cause of controversy. Portugal, Indonesia, and Malaysia all claim salvage rights.

That name just had bad luck, its predecessor was the only ship sunk at Dogger bank and was bombed by their own zeppelins.

>>3324814
Deserved it.

Nope, they deserved it.

The process of elimination grammatical gender in the English language started sometime during 9th or 10th century and was mostly done by late 14th/early 15th century. Before that English language used to divide nouns into 3 different genders (masculine-feminine-neuter) like many Germanic languages do.

>>3325579
so what was used expect for "the"?


>>3325518
first post actually adding a story
thank you

>>3325407
A boat is maculine in French. Once again the eternal Anglo does his best to be contrarictory.

>>3324814
Do it again Pierre

>>3325600
"Se" for masculine nouns and "sēo" for feminine nouns with "þæt" being neuter.

Definitely deserved it. And no one would've given a shit if nobody was on board at the time.
