Did pirates in the 1700s really command huge vessels with lots of cannons that could stand up to proper navy battleships, or is that mainly a romantication of them and they had smaller ships?

How do some of you find so many Battleships?
I remember seeing a post of someone that sunk five battleships throughout their campaign. FIVE! I've not seen a single one in four campaigns (all of them from 1939-1945) besides Royal Oak, despite constantly going on missions that say "Battleship XY was recently spotted in the area".

I re-watched Battleship (2012) yesterday. I still think it is an enjoyable popcorn movie
The rating in IMDb is 5.8/10. Viewer rating is a bit extreme on both sides. Half is “just watch with low expectations and don’t question anything, then it is a very enjoyable movie to watch - same level as Armageddon, and better than most Transfomer movies” The other half is “don’t waste your time, what a horrible movie that doesn’t make sense” Anyway, I always have this guilty pleasure of disaster/fight the monsters and save the world types of movie. I love Pacific Rim 1 (I know it mainly it’s because it has Guillermo del Toro as the director), however 2012 is below my limit. Battleship is … non stop action. Hence it doesn’t give you much time to question the plot. The alien is not super powerful, which kind of a fresh air (?). In fact, the alien is not really the bad guy. At least they have no intention to kill living beings, if they don’t have intention to kill first. Cast is … ok. Nice to see Alexander Skarsgård, who I had no idea who he was in my last watch (at least 7 years ago). I don’t listen Rihanna’s songs so her acting doesn’t bother me. And I do like they used real life veterans as actor / extra. It was a not bad movie to kill time and shutdown my brain in a summer afternoon. Thank you for reading my confession. submitted by /u/TheC9 to r/movies [link] [comments]

Trump unveils plans for 'Golden Fleet' battleships named after himself. Damn…
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c2084nq2npjo.amp Trump has announced that the US will commission a new series of heavily armed Navy "battleships" named after himself, as part of a revamped "Golden Fleet". Construction on the Trump-class USS Defiant ship, which will be equipped to carry an array of weapons, is expected to begin soon, with Trump saying the first vessels will be operational in two-and-a-half years. The announcement is part of a larger planned expansion of the US Navy by President Trump in both manned and unmanned vessels, including larger missile-armed warships and smaller vessels. Officials have warned that the US currently lags behind China in both shipbuilding capacity and total output. Speaking at his Mar-a-Lago golf club in Florida alongside defence secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of the Navy John Phelan on Monday, Trump said he approved the construction of two new battleships to start, with a plan to build up to 25.

Battleship (2012) is AWESOME. Yeah, I said it. The one-liners are amazing, the boat action scenes rule, and the climax slaps HARD. If you can't get into a film that has navy veterans fixing a battleship to AC DC, there's something wrong with you. "Let's drop some lead on those mother... FIRE!!!!".

Could Battleships ever be made viable for navies again?
We all know that Carriers replaced Battleships around the mid 20th century, with the USS Missouri being the last Battleship (to my knowledge) ever seeing real combat, in the Gulf War. Back in WW2, navies started seeing the value of air supremacy, and invested in carriers. The planes assigned to these carrier would be absolutely devastating to Battleships, due to their large size. Not even mentioning the AA guns that, while they could take out some planes, the ship would still suffer extreme damage. With current AA tech, increased knowledge in gunnery, armor and general ship design, could a navy design and produce a Battleship, or something similar, that would operate much like they did in their hayday? submitted by /u/noah-was-here to r/Warships [link] [comments]

"Battleship" is the smartest dumb movie in recent years
Okay I don't know if somebody has pointed this out before, but I've never seen it discussed on the odd time that Battleship is brought up. I think that "Battleship" (2012) is actually a subtle and deliberate commentary on the human (and maybe American specifically) propensity for war and bloodshed, disguised inside an expensive action blockbuster. Okay maybe it's not that subtle, but it's never really made explicit either. The aliens, whoever they are, are in fact the "good guys" in that they are a fundamentally peaceful race who were investigating the signal sent out by Earth. They were eager, I guess, to seek out other intelligent life. Except that with their communications ship destroyed as they entered the atmosphere, they immediately deployed a defensive perimeter (dome) since they no longer had any way to signal back home for help if things went south. At no time do they ever deliberately attack humans. All the death and destruction results solely from the Navy persisting in being aggressive or directly attacking the now vulnerable alien ships. They attack Hawaii and its military bases, for example, solely as an attempt to disable military efforts. The movie goes to great pains to show that they will not attack human beings unless they are posing an IMMEDIATE threat. So in the end, despite vastly better technology, the stranded aliens are slowly picked off by the hostile and bloodthirsty inhabitants of our planet. From their perspective, "Battleship" is a hopeless horror/survival thriller. And the cherry on the cake is the decision to play "Fortunate Son", a famous anti-war protest song, over the main credits. Anyway I know the movie is no Apocalypse Now, but I like it for being pure dumb fun. But I wondered if anyone else noticed something like the above. Edit: To be clear guys, I know Battleship is a shit movie (that I nonetheless liked watching). I mean for fuck's sakes, it starts off with Taylor Kitsch doing physical comedy in pursuit of a burrito. But I've always wondered why someone felt the need to include these elements in a movie that otherwise shows no evidence of thought or craft. submitted by /u/Actually_Nicholas to r/movies [link] [comments]
