Well, I was disgusted by entirely different reasons, if you know what I mean. We sure are masters of camouflaging and stack-bunk making (pinkka-punkka), but I'm not so sure about the latter one though.

I've always wondered about the western designations of some ships as cruisers. The only 'real' cruisers (size-wise) built in modern times (yes I know how old they are now) were the Kirov-class.
I have spent quite some time under the course of supersonic fighers, and I've never seen such a thing. Besides, the pic under was a CG, so I suppose it is a fake as well.
Oh, and for the sake of it :

Cruisers do other things than just air defence or ASW IIRC so if it also has alot of anti ship or cruise missles it will be probably designated a cruiser
Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

But it's important to hide yourself as good as possible.. if you have a chance. What's the point of doing guerilla war if you wear those bright red hunter jackets? .
Well since we are not lovers, we have to be killers, right?

So you're making the case for function defining class. I suppose that makes some sense. For conventional (non missile) ships: function -> displacement = class.
Certainly, a modern missile cruiser is a more lethal weapon system than a similarly-sized conventional warship.
Just curious - this is somehow faked, isn´t it? I mean even on supersonic speed jets don´t create such "things" or am I wrong?
Looks to impressive to be true....
That's how i remember it looking. i was in for four years. the navy would do fly bys for vistors on the ship. i remember it looking something like that.

I think so. The UK doesn't have cruisers anymore. We have ASW frigates and anti aircraft destroyers. ALthough they do have helicopters with anti-ship capability. I would guess a cruiser would be a bit bigger because of the extra missle platforms

I was referring to the "cold hearted" part. At least some of the instructors I had during my military service seemed like the type of people who would greatly enjoy killing if a war started in our country.
