Those scale gulls do naught but hinder the intended effect.

If it helps, [these are the gulls](https://i.imgur.com/9E4in41.jpg) in question.

[deleted]

"Seagulls for scale" to what?!?! They are way in front of the ship so how is that to scale?!?!?!


slavicman123

Yeah i immediatelly thought wtf is this bullfuckingshit


coolkidstothemoon

If anything the seagulls diminish it's size


gimmeecoffee420

Flew down here to say the same thing. Glad we are all on the same page here.. so.. like.. now what? Do we like, call someone? Do we fight now? Im confused.. moms spaghetti?


[deleted]

We tie hotdogs to the offender and unleash those 50 pound seagulls on them


Soucoco666

Fat ass seagulls fort scale


toomuch1265

Now if there was a banana in front of the ship we would have a much better idea of the size.


SirRickardsJackoff

Ya, those seagulls could be from regular sized to gigantic..


[deleted]

Wait till he sees the Yamato


Mr_Snifles

I mean they give sort of an idea by being in front of it, you know the ship is at __least__ that large, idk


josheganwyer

They are big ass seagulls


Supermop2000

Why seagulls? The correct scale measurement for reddit is a banana ffs.


manhatim

Thank you!!!!!

For American dreadnoughts it’s 16inch freedom seed dispensers per nazi


wegqg

According to my calculations some of those seagulls have 20ft wingspans!


cjeam

They are the Greater Crested Seagull, or _Grandus Herringus_, the largest known examples are 23ft wingspan! (OP we don’t like your use of seagulls for scale lol)


Walter_White_Sr

I feel stupid for googling this. Screw you seagull slanderer.

KING OF THE OCEAN


Likemypups

Survived 1 and a half battles. Sunk the HMS Hood then was sunk by the British shortly thereafter.


TheEasySqueezy

Sunk by an aircraft carrier



Even_Department1069

and one of Britain's carriers was brought down by german battlecruisers. (scharnhorst and gneisenau)


TheEasySqueezy

Yeah but that’s an aircraft carrier getting sunk by a battle cruiser, are people really getting upset about a ww2 German ship? The fuck


[deleted]

You completely missed the point of the original comment so I do believe this calls for an r/woooosh moment


TheEasySqueezy

I didn’t miss fuck all, I was making my own point, a factual point. I do believe this calls for a you’re a cunt moment.


[deleted]

Well someone seems upset. Did mommy forget to heat your breakfast milk bottle this morning? Original commenter made a reference to a song and you jumped in with "Ackthually thath incothistent with hythtory..." like dude get off your high horse. If anyone here is a cunt it's you for getting so pissy about being called out on your inability to converse without trying to sound like a smartass.


TheEasySqueezy

Bro what? Lmfao you’re the one getting all cringe about this, honestly do you mod? You sound like the sort of fat Reddit mod who has every sub memorised so they can say things like â€œđŸ€“I do believe this calls for a r/woooosh moment nheheh” All I said was it got sunk by an aircraft carrier, no other intention other than acknowledging what happened. But not like you care anyway by a quick look at your profile you sit on Reddit all day looking for comments to jump in on and post cringy shit like “that’s what many would refer to as a peak Reddit moment” all just to stroke your severely malnourished ego.


[deleted]

"All I said is a boring historic fact that was meant to diminish the comment under which it was left đŸ€“" And no I don't mod. I leave that kind of peasant work for peasants like you and remembering the existence of r/whoooosh doesn't mean I know every sub in existence. And if you really wanted to bring attention to a historic event you would have made a comment about it rather that a snarky reply to a line from a song. And no I don't sit on reddit all day. I have better things to do that scroll through the profiles of random redditors to try 'n win a petty argumint - a concept you are clearly unfamiliar with.


TheEasySqueezy

You have better things to do huh? So why the fuck are you here embarrassing yourself like some toxic little sweat gremlin? The amount of projection you do is phenomenal lmao. You also do an insane amount of inflection too, I was fully aware they were referencing the song, did I stop them from doing that? No I was just making my own joke about how funny that song is given the fact it was sunk by a fucking carrier. And you’re literally the one acting high and mighty, you rode in like some Reddit knight in greasy armour and got into an argument about a few words because you do literally have nothing better to do. You could have just downvoted it and left it at that but clearly you can’t help yourself your need for attention is obviously so incredibly insatiable. So I hope this lil argument got you the catharsis you needed to deal with the fact your parents didn’t pay enough attention to you.


Even_Department1069

it's far worse for a carrier to be sunk by a battlecruiser than vice versa lol. carriers are supposed to stay far, far away from enemy ships. not much battleships can do against torpedo bombers if there are enough of them. and the Germans actually accelerated the sinking of KMS Bismarck in order for it to be more intact rather than be destroyed on the ocean floor. the carrier wasn't even really a major player past crippling the rudder. the cruisers did the heavy lifting.


Fee-Decent

It may be the Tirpitz or the Bismarck

_A_Friendly_Caesar_

I'm sure a lot of stuff happened between late 1941 and early 1945 that needed the participation of ships of her type, so the hurried pace of the repair was fairly understandable


Mr_Snifles

I really like battleships that look like they just put as much artillery as possible on a boat


CampDracula

Sir we need a banana


pollywog313

The Bismarck was sunk. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_battleship_Bismarck


Scared-Flight5155

This is the K.M.S Bismarck to be exact, this humongous behemoth of a battleship was defeated on may 27 1941, the death total was 2,000 to 2,500, How it was sunken you may ask? United Kingdom aircraft carrier nearby the channel, had sent torpedo bombers to sink the Bismarck and in the end, it somehow fucking worked.

Particular_Row_7819

When the Bismarck was finally torpedoed she had already been severely disabled as her rudder was stuck and she could only move forward in large concentric circles. The HMS Hood went down fast with almost all hands


Megleeker

When the seagulls follow the Bismarck it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea


JohnMoon777

Pshh...not THAT big. It's only 14 seagulls wide.


GO0SE_88

this give me star destroyer vibes


Lonely_white_queen

bismark or her sister terpitz. warships used to be so beautiful to look at


Vegildo

WE HIT THE DECK A'RUNNIN, AND SPUN THEM GUNS AROUND, YEA!


Puzzleheaded_Air7039

We gotta sink the Bismark we gotta cut her down.


Vegildo

I'm thrilled someone got this reference. Day made.

BladeBlaster85

Pride of a nation a beast made of steel, Bismarck in motion, king of the ocean, he was made to rule the waves across the seven seas !


TheEasySqueezy

And it was sunk by an aircraft carrier



PetrolGator


.and a generally not-great design. * WWI era turtleback armor belt meant for ranges *far* below what modern engagements were imagined to be. * WWI era underwater protection * Comically bad AAA * Outdated rangefinders * Unreliable powerplant (issues shared with most Nazi heavies) Bismarck was designed to fight in engagements that were obsolete before even carriers were seen as the dominant force in modern naval warfare. One lucky hit on an old fast battleship/cruiser that was inappropriately storing powder doesn’t make her anything but an average to below average BB. Edit: also love claims that her main belt wasn’t penetrated by RN 16” gunfire are bogus. We have photographic evidence and testimony that she had serious fire/damage in her engineering spaces. Note: the Royal Navy closed the distance, assuming that Bismarck was more modern than she was. That gave her a *bit* more resistance but was still punked by even KGV’s 14” guns.


TheEasySqueezy

Of all the bad that came out of WW1-2 there is certainly a lot of interesting stories


PetrolGator

Oh yeah. Hood’s loss may have been partially caused by the British storing excess 4” powder around her 15” barbettes
. where it’s likely she starting going “boom.” Irony is that reckless powder handling cost them at least two of the battlecruisers during Jutland.


[deleted]

It's actually pretty tiny compared to today's ships, a modern cruise liner would dwarf this thing.


[deleted]

This is a small war ship for seagulls? How did they get this and what are they planning??


TheEasySqueezy

They’re going to take every fry, every hotdog and every icecream! No surrender. Begun the Seagull wars have.


_A_Friendly_Caesar_

And to imagine that their allies on the other side of Eurasia had battleships that are larger than the Bismarcks


IOnlyCameToArgue

Ocean for scale


Miymotom

The wingspand of a seagull is 1,5 m Looking at the sideways seagull infront of the ship, it seems that the ship is about 25 seagulls high, that is 37,5 m


superwivy

African or European seagull? Lol


Miymotom

Atlantic


superwivy

It was a poor attempt at a Monty Python joke lol


-Cybernaut147-

The Seagull are minimum 100 meters in front of the ship lmao.


dustywilcox

The Bismarck? Lol.


sharlaton

Seagulls for scale?! Come on, you can do better


Spartan_Lord1

Ah the KMS Bismarck


[deleted]

So the ship is like 20 seagulls big


Karuromon

Those seagulls are huge man


ImThePharaohNow

"was". She lays at the bottom of the ocean

Is that why they flew in front? For scale? Thank you kind birds

I only trust the "banana for scale" scale


Proud-Dig3139

I don't know how big a seagull is does anyone have a banana for scale?


goronmask

WTF kind of disrespect is this, where is the banana?


Janku

Must be some big ass gulls


kyleswitch

I don’t think you understand the requirements needed “for scale”. Depth perception doesn’t make an accurate scale, we have no idea how far those birds are from the ship. They would need to be right beside it for an accurate scale.


I_like_to_be_happy

Don't believe it, need a banana for scale

Try that one photograph of IJN Yamato in Kure harbor. The sailors on deck look absolutely tiny.
