![]() I say all that to set things up for the inevitable question that crosses the lips of almost everyone in this particular situation. A lot of you are like me in that you like to collect models of those vessels, and those of us with a more, uhmm, "modern" bent naturally go for CG models. Not surprisingly, there's a lot of naval video games set during the World War II era and there are lots of CG models made both free by fans and for those video games of World War II era vessels. It's quite understandable, given how much has been written and produced about World War II as a whole and the naval side in particular, with such great media productions as In Harm's Way, the original Midway (1976), Run Silent Run Deep, Up Periscope, The Enemy Below, Das Boot (any version, I personally prefer the 3-hour director's cut), Sink the Bismarck, PT-109, They Were Expendable, The Winds of War/War and Remembrance, Submarine X-1, Yamato, Tora! Tora! Tora! - the list goes on and on and on. For most of you you're probably thinking of the interwar and World War II eras (1919-1945), and that quarter-century or so represents the epitome or apex of classic warship design for many. Let's narrow the range still further, because that's a pretty wide range and while some of us have likes as wide as that range might be, most of you have something more narrow in mind.
