My number one has always been Rodney big, squat and ready for a fight, a real heavyweight. But if were talking about graceful looks etc. it doesn't really come into that category.

I'll have a think about a few good standouts.

From an aesthetic point of view, I've always thought the Richelieu-class were very beautiful ships.

Another fan of the Richelieu.

Being a big USN fan it hurt to vote Yamato; but its the best looking;; the detail is the best in the lot;
Hood and North Carolina are real close seconds; love NC color scheme for USN

I thought this was Best Looking Battleship in WW2 , not best looking War At Sea battleship model?
