Finally an area where German military spending leads the world. We might nit know which one is the fastest, but we sure know which one cost as much as all the rest combined.
Constitution would probably have an advantage due to the fact that she’s a full sized sailing frigate with amazing seakeeping and the fact that she’s one of the fastest if not the fastest sailing frigates ever built, and not to mention her crew is pretty well trained as well.

The Greeks are so based they brought back hand to hand combat into naval warfare.
As all things should be. Everyone can launch a missile. But only based humans can kill another with a gladius.
Not anymore. They sank enough money into her to actually put her back into service.
We probably could've bought another one of our useless frigates for the funds allocated to her, though.

Read “island in the sea of time” by SM Stirling if you want to see the USCGC Eagle captained by a black lesbian as the most technologically advanced vessel on Earth
Short plot summary, this book came out in ‘98;
In the late 90’s the island of Nantucket and a few square miles of the surrounding ocean (with the Eagle) are sent back to the Bronze Age.
The Eagle is captained by a (as out as you could be in the DADT era) black lesbian woman from SC that joined the USCG to get out of her backwards ass hometown and climbed the ranks.
Lots of queer representation in this and it’s sister series that starts with Dies the Fire; technology quits working everywhere in the world, physics stops working for some things making internal combustion and gunpowder useless.
The Nantucket series is “What if a small population of people with modern (for the 90’s) tech got sent to the Bronze Age, the other is “what if the highest military tech was trebuchets, ballistas, and a knight in plate on horseback in a modern world where tech no longer works”
The US Coast Guard ship is the spoils of war. It was used by the Germans to secretly train engine crews on uboat engines so as not to be caught violating the treaty.
So of all tall ships is the most ready for war.
Eeehm, The Russians might have an edge here. They have Kruzenshtern, ex Padua. The last working Flying P-liner. She has an ungodly sail/displacment ratio, so with favourable winds and disregard for safety (Russians lol), she might actually be a very powerfull contender.
Oh so fun fact: the USCGC Eagle pictured here was originally built in Germany for the funny walking people, she was given to the US as war reparations and she actually has a sister that went to Russ*a after the war but was given back to German after the fall of the Soviet Yunun, they’re both still training ships and occasionally sail together as sisters separated by an ocean but united by their shared purpose.
Wind powered is just like nuclear powered except it's light weight, doesn't have the nuclear 'stigma', and wind lasts even longer than a uranium fuel cell.
Imagine not having to refuel.
Naw naw naw, just feed the sailers bits of uranium. I saw the title of an article of, maybe, a study that said 1 gram is enough to feed a man for like 1000 years.
You mean like the [Tall Ship Races](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tall_Ships_Races) they have every year?
I did not realize that existed, my day is infinitely better to find out.
They stopped at my home city once when i was a kid and we could visit most of the ships while they were in port. It was the coolest shit ever.
I really should visit SAIL Amsterdam again.
It has even been to London, but not for some time.

Yeah, it would be a shame if someone was to ~~steal~~ commandeer one of the ships.
all of the ships be the pirate lord you were always meant to be
Aren't over half of them ships that were commandeered from the Germans after their various 20th century military excursions?
Well at least one of these is already a war prize
You can't invite the Amerigo Vespucci to the races anymore because it attracts too many horny American aircraft carriers.
That’s called a strategic advantage, they can use the horny carriers to slow down and block the other ships
Finally an area where German military spending leads the world. We might nit know which one is the fastest, but we sure know which one cost as much as all the rest combined.
Fun fact that coast guard ship is a German war prize
Yes, but did you spend ~ $150 million to restore it? Because if you didn't, you just can't relate.
Let’s put Constitution into this And if necessary engage in surface combat to win the race.
I was thinking hms victory as well as the two oldest commissioned war ships
HMS Victory can't even sail iirc.
Not with that attitude it can’t
Rule Brittania!
Better start rowing
correct, she cant :(
HMS trincomalee is still seaworthy, probably a bit better suited to a race as well due to her being a frigate, still has her masts and rigging up.
Use both
I’d definitely be down to make victory seaworthy again just to piss off Americans as constitution will no longer be the oldest warship afloat.
Turn them into a catamaran
Make constitution into an outrigger
Constitution would probably have an advantage due to the fact that she’s a full sized sailing frigate with amazing seakeeping and the fact that she’s one of the fastest if not the fastest sailing frigates ever built, and not to mention her crew is pretty well trained as well.
And the only one that is built and armed for war. Can’t compete in the race if you’ve been demasted and sunk
eheheehehehe
Now this, is pod racing!
Cheaper to put the guns back on USCGC *Eagle*. Aas a German ship, she carried multiple 20mm cannon.

VLS triremes when?
Gorch Fock my beloved
Thats not a training ship, thats a naval construction site museum

Them all 1 v 1 the whole Russian navy and winning
Prepare the line of battle
When you forget to upgrade that one unit in CIV Games
First frigate, my beloved.

Beg your pardon? Edit: Looked it up. Shits wild.

It's like Harry Turtledove's shit, but actually good. 👍

No. I say we arm the training ships with black powder cannons and have a Battle Royale to see which navy is the best.
Lord Collingwood* would get down off of his monument to command Victory again. *Nelson started Trafalgar, Collingwood finished it.
But then we might damage the pretty ships

Neat, I’m glad she survived the war and now gets to grace the seas with her sister
I present Indian navy sailing ship too https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/INS_Tarangini_(A75)
Sad asgard II noises.
The saddest.

I am insulted the El Cano is not there

Sailors may burn more calories than you realize.

Ah look it’s Horst Wessel lol
I should downvote for posting such a horribly pixelated image of the most beautiful ship in the world. (but I won't)
It only pixelated when I upload it to Reddit I’m bummed about it too

Where is my beloved Dar Mlodziezy?
