The backbone of any major EVE activity. BS are always welcome in any mining, PvE, or PvP gang.
EDIT: Except suicide T2 frig/MWD cruiser gangs.

This is a Battleship
www.3dhistory.de
She was nearly as long as the titanic, substantially wider at the beam and quite a bit faster. Designed to solopwn hauler convoys in the Atlantic, the British were !@#$ scared of her and on her maiden voyage sent 3 BS, 2 BC, 2 heavy cruisers, 1/2 dozen destroyers, 2 aircraft carriers and a cruiser after her (did I miss any?).
After blowing the BC Hood the British flagship into itty bitty pieces in a single salvo from the 8x15" guns, she suffered a 1 in a million torpedo hit to the rudder that jammed the rudder into one of the props. Reduced to sailing in a slow circle the British then set about beating her to death.
After being pummelled incessantly for hours by torpedos and shells everything above the deck armour was either destroyed or burning. However out of this entire bombardment not a single torpedo and only 2 shells managed to penetrate the main armour. At this stage the now desperate crew scuttled her.
Really the only word for it is "epic".
That was a Battleship.
I love Eve so I won't do it the disservice of comparing its Battleships to the Bismarck.
Oh then you must've heard about the Graf Zeppelin too, I don't really know what the germans used to smoke while building them but man, they must've had some sort of alien alloy or something... - and btw, this one was never finished!
So well, anyway, I think Eve carriers do tank nice amounts, I wonder if *these* amounts too, proportionatelly speaking of course.

Hello
What does a battleship mean to you?
What is your first association when you hear "a battleship"?
Any answer would be appreciated, thank you very much 
Battleship = bigger strip club connected to the captains readt room. Screw realism...I got into this to fly spaceships, smuggle guns, and hang with hot green-skinned alien chicks!
