Nonsense. Everyone knows the water weighs down the praets, giving them -2 strength. Plus there's a good chance you'll get the Shark Attack event, which will clear out your ranks.

Are you sure it isn't a 'Magnificent' ironclad.

will try and let you know.
but actually even losing this destroyer doesnt really hurt me in any way in this game...
A lot of them did have sails just after steam power on warships got going...
(Thanks awfully for saying what you think is funny. In my view, it should be a rule for this section.)

Battleships aren't steam powered and never have been. Ironclads, yes, but the ships after it don't.

Here's a monk who goes invisible if there's any smoke in the area. Yeah, you gotta look close to even find him. From some angles, I couldn't even see him.
You've spotted the Avatar! He must have been using his airbending skills to hide from our Fire Nation scouts behind all that smoke.

AC was JC's biological great-nephew and adopted son.
That depends if you mean Civ IV Battleships or all the ships called "battleships". Obviously, I meant the latter. Sheesh.

Not to sidetrack the thread, but I'd have to agree with choxorn here- I've never considered the term "battleship" to mean anything pre-WWI-era. Nothing to do with Civ, just that's what the word means to me. Maybe it's an English-English/American-English thing, I dunno.

Wikipedia: "The word battleship was coined around 1794 and is a contraction of the phrase line-of-battle ship, the dominant wooden warship during the Age of Sail.[1] The term came into formal use in the late 1880s to describe a type of ironclad warship,[2] now referred to by historians as pre-dreadnought battleships. In 1906, the commissioning of HMS Dreadnought heralded a revolution in battleship design. Following battleship designs, influenced by HMS Dreadnought, were referred to as "dreadnoughts"."
Also: "The French Navy's Redoutable, laid down in 1873 and launched in 1876, was a central battery and barbette warship which became the first battleship in the world to use steel as the principal building material."
So the original battleships were purely sail powered wooden ships, at least in informal terms. The earliest formal usage would be for the steam powered ships of the late 1800s.
Technically a lot of post WW-I ships are steam powered. The various US nuclear powered aircraft carriers, for example. They just produce the steam via nuclear reactor instead of burning coal or oil.
