Baltimore I call "Baltimoo". Not for any particular reason. Yuudachi is "Poi". Belfast is "Belfap". Asashio is: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Estaca_de_Bares Players 1,473 posts 23,820 battles Report post #9 Posted February 5, 2020 Leaving aside the obvious ones given by many people, some personal nicknames of mine for ships are: Nelson: Nelsinha Peché (both homage to Nelson Piquet and the AL captain assets). Richelieu: Ricardito (Little Richard). Bismarck: Luisma (short for Luis Manuel, i.e. Louis Emmanuel, and also the name of a character in a Spanish series). FdG: Federrico (Friedrich in Spanish is Federico. I switch to a rolling R -hence doubling it when written- imitating how a certain waiter nearby says "rico" -Spanish for rich or tasty-). Khabarovsk: Cabra loca (lit. "mad goat"). This one is shared by many Spanish players. Ognevoi: Hoy no voy (lit. "I don't go today"). ARP Takao: Lady Takao, or simply Lady (I can't remember why I started saying it, but it was around the time I got a torpedo Kraken with her). Musashi: Mushasho ("muchacho" means boy or young man in Spanish, but then in some areas the CH sound is pronounced like SH, which gets closer to the original name). Also shared by many Spaniards. Salute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Derpmato, derpmagi, derpunderer, derpmark, derp memes are some of the examples. Certain ships have Specialised name for potato ness, eg a 40% mino would be minotard.

[ELEC] LiveWire___ Players 919 posts 7,379 battles Report post #16 Posted March 9, 2020 Smolensk - SKUM-ensk (both as a nod to drivers of this ship being the lowest of the low, and an homage to the movie of the same name) Kamekaze - Kan-o-crap-ee (as in, it's an OP Kan, which will open a can of crap on you) Yamato - Camper-to (I rarely see one of these in motion) Minotaur - Minnow-tour (as in, the small, pointless fish) Des Moines - Denied (I hate these ships with a passion, and, when sinking one, always declare "denied!" When I end their firestarting, camping antics) Shimakaze - S**t the Kaze (A "Kaze" or "Khazee" is UK slang for a toilet) Nelson - NelSOL (both as a homage to it's actual WW2 nickname, thanks to it's resemblance to an RN Oiling ship, which all had names ending in "ol", and the fact that it's always on fire) Warspite - Warspider (It's actual WW2 nickname, along with others) Okhotnik - Oh f**k nick (for it's annoying tendency to pop up and torp things at close range) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
