It was really funny to have people call the empress of ireland a relatively unknown wreck when it was literally the second shipwreck I ever learned about.
these images are from a 2021 scan and then a 2025 scan
She climbed off my head while i was sitting on my desk, and I just let her climb on the model. She seemed to enjoy it, but I don't want her to fall off it, so this was a one-time thing.
She was a fishing vessel that was sent adrift by a tsunami in 2011. A year later, after drifting towards the US coast, she was sunk to prevent a navigation hazard.
We couldn't even save the SS United States while she was floating. this isn't happening. you would need to ship of Theseus it to make it not fall apart, and even then it isn't possible due to how rusty it is. also it provides a reef, so it is still functional.
This was my first experience with a 3d printer from a few years ago. It was quite the learning experience.
My picks (in order)
Olympic
HMS Warspite
SS United States
USS Enterprise (cv6)
RMS Mauretania
USS Enterprise (cvn65)
USS Nevada
Gilliam was a Gilliam class attack transport built in 1944. She was used as a test ship during operation crossroads. She was placed about 750 meters from the planned detonation, but because the bomb missed by about 700 meters, she was within 50 meters from the detonation (warship no5 in the diagram). She sank due to the damage almost immediately and now rests in about 50 meters of water.
For a long time, I assumed it was Bismarck, but after seeing the recent scans from Magellan, I am questioning that. The only other two contenders that I can think of are HMS Royal Oak (2nd picture), or Nagato (3rd picture), although I cannot find conclusive info on Nagato's wreck. I still think overall Bismarck wins just because she landed upright, but I'm not sure.
Thoughts?

Not trying to defend it, just trying to set the record straight. From what I can tell, a lot of the reliability issues actually came from panthers and king tigers instead of Tiger 1s. I know about the shit electrical systems that would be knocked out by vibrations. From what I have heard that it was decently reliable, just extremely long maintenance was needed, and engineering vehicles were in short supply. but how mechanically unreliable were they?
Large map, 130ish rooms, good opportunity for easter eggs, office spaces, laboratory rooms, old asylum like rooms.
Also, it would be cool if during a hunt, instead of a ghost spawning, a demo would come through the wall to start and return through the floor to end it. If you die, you see the upside-down version of the lab.

In terms of enclosures, feeding, handling, personality, size, etc, how are they good or bad as pets?
Your input would help me consider which one would be better for me.
I have seen a few dives and images of the wreck site, but most of the content I have seen either focuses on the bow or the break point. I haven't seen anyone show the potential damage of the explosion recorded by a nearby ship.
Did the Bradley actually explode? And if so, what was the damage done.
It always makes me laugh when people say that imperial commanders are too over the top with how incompetent they are, when we have SO MANY real live examples of the exact same thing happening.
For example, Willy Messerschmitt and Erhart Milch who spent the last few years of WW2 trying to screw each other over (along with alexander Lippich) even prioritizing their vendettas over winning the war.
Or Takeo Kurita who at the battle off Samar with multiple battleships, aboard the Yamato, and essentially a fleet which could have gone toe to toe with a much stronger force, managed to make every single wrong decision and get driven off by a few destroyers and destroyer escorts. (Granted, they probably weren't up to the task of dealing with the bravery of the Johnston and the Sammuel B Roberts.)
Did the NH scheme have the same issue as the warbonnet scheme of turning pink after a few years?
The Lavochkin La-200 was an interceptor capable of speeds up to 1070 km/h (664mph). It had a range of 1170 km, or 726 miles. Crucially, It uses a soviet Rolls Royce Nene engine firing out the back of the jet, and another Rolls Royce Nene firing underneath the pilot at a 70 degree angle. It carries a radar which can detect planes. It has to be within firing range of a Tu-4's rear gunners to pick it up, but it can detect planes.
My favorite part of this aircraft is the way they solved the pressure issues that the back half of the plane had. If you know you know
