@BelfastBrawler Congratulations. I did like your flag - simple in concept and very effective, like all the best designs. Do you have any immediate ideas for a contest? If so, I'm happy for you to go ahead with it, as my brain seems to be struggling to get out of first gear today... :confused...

Where are Inarticulate and Inexpressible on that list? The designs for those were of course impossible for the yards to understand. And surely Jacky would want Ineffable in there somewhere too? :p

From a series on an ATL website: 10 facts everyone knows - which are wrong 2. The first words spoken on the moon In second place, the famous first words spoken on the Moon - except they weren't. What everyone knows is: (1) the first Moon landing took place in 1970; (2) Adam Scott was first...

I like: 1. Imperious - aka 'I represent the Empire' - since she and her sisters are bound to be lauded as the RN's new 'look how great these are' ships; 2. Illustrious - same idea, 'look how great we are' 3. Implacable - "we're going ahead with our plans whether you like it or not" and, I...

I wasn't sure which would be better / easier. I've edited it into my original post now instead.

That's very generous, thank you. Edit: the edited backstory is now in my original post. The flag has not been changed.

I only just realised that I made a flag for an alt-Iceland when the challenge is for Greenland or the Faroes, with no mention of Iceland at all. :eek: And I can't even pretend that my alt-history matches, since neither Greenland nor the Faroes have active volcanoes. I quite like the flag I came...

Very good. I'll have to go back and read the Invasion of 1812 again, I think.

The flag of the Kingdom of Heildeyja and Fjærheilja (Holy Fire Island and Far Holy Island) When the first Norsemen arrived on Heildeyja (OTL Iceland) in the early 9th century AD, they found it already inhabited by a few Irish hermits, whom they called the Papar. The cohabitation did not last...

Sorry to revive a thread from over a month ago, but part of a 1WW naval discussion gave me an idea. Since 'battleship' is a contraction of 'line of battle ship' meaning 'ship which sails in the main line of battle' then maybe it could be another part of the phrase which gets used - with...

Seconded. :)

You're welcome and no problem - click on the thumbnails below, they'll take you to the files, hosted on postimage.org: These are the same size as the original vector images in the sources (as I linked to above) so are probably big enough, I think. If you need them even bigger, it's easy to...

Most of these images are best amended in their vector (.svg) forms, as all the constituent parts of the image can be treated separately. There are a few programs you can use for that - I think most people on here use inkscape. I know you only asked for the English, Welsh, Northern Irish...

As The Professor and Marc Pasquin have already said, it would almost certainly have both arms. So either use the OTL Ed III of England arms (as in The Prof's post above) or, if you want something non-OTL, here's an impaled version:

Oops, sorry - I've edited my post with a new pic.

How about this? Edit: original thumbnail removed - new thumbnail link added (click the thumbnail to go to the image, hosted on imgbb.com)

Why not? :p Looks round, realises not everyone knows RN terminology, mumbles a retraction and leaves quickly... ps Good update

I seem to remember reading somewhere that this was based on the assumption that being in a convoy made you easier to find and therefore more likely to be attacked, whereas one ship on the ocean on its own was more difficult to find. If you don't know much about how submarines work and therefore...
