Thonar Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 Heyho, I just wanted to share some nice fun pictures out of Naval-Action for you guys: Come on, share more pictures! 7
Thonar Posted April 29, 2016 Author Posted April 29, 2016 hehe, reminds me of a hedgehog. We even proved it could turn... unfortunately I wasn'T able to make a video.
Jean Ribault Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 We might have to rename the term Broadside to something else, e.g. Scatterburst !
Captain Jean-Luc Picard Posted September 15, 2016 Posted September 15, 2016 Pretty sure it's a ship designed by Da Vinci. 5
Jean Ribault Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 Pretty sure it's a ship designed by Da Vinci. I been binge-watching Da Vinci's Demons (isn't On-Demand awesome?), and in Season 2 he creates a 2-man submersible with paddles and ballast. I wonder if that ever really happened, or if just theatrical? The earliest I know of is The Hunley, so brilliantly depicted in the movie of that name (with Armand Assante....bonus!), civil war era.

I wonder if that ever really happened, or if just theatrical? The earliest I know of is The Hunley [...]. 99% of da vinci demons is purely theatrical XD Well, there's the names that are there, and it takes place in the approximate correct locations... nah scratch that last part XD He did some sketches of a submarine, and so have many other people. The first operational submarine was not the hunley, but a submarine by Cornelis Drebel, some 200 years before the Hunley, and some 100 years after da vinci sketches.

Someone actually bested the Huntley by about 88 years: Turtle, built by the US in 1775 for use during the Revolutionary War/War for Independence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtle_(submersible) Edit: Just noticed the post about the Dutch submarine. So the Turtle was the earliest American submarine; and possibly the first submarine used in naval combat. Edited September 19, 2016 by Chijohnaok 1
Jean Ribault Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 Haha I like the "detachable mine", I wonder if it was safe from curious fishies.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) Speaking of subs, If you haven't seen it already, watch Das Boot. Bonus pic: the sumarine-cruiser-aircraft-carrier. It actually existed. We might be getting a bit sidetracked. Edited September 21, 2016 by Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1
Jean Ribault Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 +1 on Das Boot. Great movie, edge of seat.
