[llamalord]

I ment the german word for "Ship" is spelled "Skiff" not the previosly stated "Shiff".

[Kapn Jonah]

ahhh.....
then why    is it spelled "shiff" on the german forum?

[llamalord]

Because it's Both!!!
I just looked it up in a dictionary it's:


"Schiff"

[Capt. Le Velle]

it is spelled both.  but im not taking sides

[llamalord]

Smart Move.

[Kapn Jonah]

No sides to be taken, it doesnt matter!

Bismark`s Keel was layed down at Blohm & Voss shipyard in Hamburg in july 1936 as part of plan Z which was the  plan to re-equipment and expand the Kriegsmarine. She was launched in 1940 with Kapitän zur See Ernst Lindemann comanding her. Because the war started before Hitler thought it would, Plan Z was dismised because Germany needed to put there resources into invading poland and there Blitz warfare, so bismark was used as a commerce raider and plan Z  was not carried out.

Why i like it: She is one of the great superliners from the twilight years of classic ocean travel. Her sheer style and splendor is unparalleled throughout the history of transatlantic ocean travel. Her only rival would be the SS Normandie.

[Ship Sim]

Nice ship. Kind of looks like the SS Normandie.

[saltydog]

I like this ship..It's the Flavia, which brought us from Australia to Italy some time ago..

[Captain Best]

He's American Yes.,

But he can Germanish.

Example. i can

English

And Norwegian

And its Schiff Too.

[The Captain]

Ya, I am American, but I am not sure I can germanish .

I ment the german word for "Ship" is spelled "Skiff" not the previosly stated "Shiff".

I think that since I have been saying over and over again, I know what I am saying . You don't think I would speak german impropperly, do you ? And *ahem, I was right .

I do not say "ship" anymore. I only say shiff. Sorry, my German protocalls .
