Talk:Cruiser

This article intertwines with destroyer and frigate. I haven't yet decided if there's a reasonable single "fast attack craft" to include classic torpedo and motor gunboats, as well as missile boats. I'm also not sure, given the confusion in the three main vessel names, whether there needs to be an additional category that would include such things as oceangoing corvettes (e.g., Israeli Sa'ar), the latest incarnation of the Littoral Combat Ship, etc.

Indeed, I have not yet started frigate. Expect much back-and-forth among cruiser, destroyer, and frigate even in the early drafts. Howard C. Berkowitz 12:06, 19 July 2008 (CDT)

let's not forget the mighty Hood, me myte

Out of the cold and foggy night came the British ship the Hood And every British seaman he knew and understood They had to sink the Bismarck the terror of the sea Stop those guns as big as steers and those shells as big as trees.

They'd find the German battle ship was makin' such a fuss We gotta sink the Bismarck 'cause the world depends on us Yeah, hit the decks a running boys and spin those guns around When we find the Bismarck we gotta cut her down.

The Hood found the Bismarck and on that fatal day The Bismarck started firing fifteen miles away We gotta sink the Bismarck was the battle sound But when the smoke had cleared away the mighty Hood went down.
