Love and tolerance may not solve your problems.
Sheer naval dominance? "Always works." |

Sorry, but all these ships being of the same basic type isn't working for me.
Shouldn't Fluttershy be an aircraft carrier, taking care of all her birds? |

^ You're mistaking drawn the same size for same basic type. Fluttershy is a dreadnought battleship (fully armored) or possibly a battlecruiser (no deck armor to save weight and make them faster; I don't recognize the exact ship she's based off of, if any, and can't tell from the picture how extensive the armor is aside from the clearly visible external side belt) of approximately mid WWI to 1920s vintage. She has wire cage masts with fighting tops; even ships originally built that way had been rebuilt with tripod masts by the late 1930s. Twilight Sparkle and Rarity are Arleigh Burke class guided missile destroyers of very recent construction (only Burkes built after 2003 had smokestacks hidden completely inside the superstructure like these). Applejack is a Kidd class guided missile destroyer (originally built by the US for Iran back when the Shah was in power and Iran was a close US ally, but kept by the US after the Ayatollah took power), and Pinkie Pie an early (missile rail launchers instead of vertical silo launchers in the deck) Ticonderoga class guided missile cruiser (which was originally intended to also be a destroyer, renamed a cruiser because the USSR had more "cruisers" than the USA, even though maybe only 4 Russian cruisers were even as powerful as America's smaller frigates.) They're both of 1970s-1980s vintage, built on the same hull (derived from the older Spruance class gun destroyers). Rainbow Dash is another dreadnought battleship or battlecruiser of WWI design (note the casemate guns just below the bow deck and the airplane catapult added after construction on top of C turret), but rebuilt to mid 1940s technology (note the solid superstructure and lack of fighting top masts of any sort, provision of significant numbers of anti-aircraft guns, radar rangefinders fore and aft on the superstructure, plus the binocular telescope rangefinder high above the back of C turret).
So basically, pegasi are interwar battleships/battlecruisers, earth ponies are early guided missile destroyers, and unicorns are modern guided missile stealth destroyers. |

Heh. :)
Update, I just found a picture of what this is. Fluttershy is a US Lexington class battlecruiser. They were never actually built due to the Washington Naval Treaty, but would have been very fast. So that's appropriate for a pegasus. |

oh man that ripping shipbucket feel |

Lemme guess, so Celestia would then be the Yamato, big, powerful, but hardly goes out and fight. |

these ships are awesome. I really want to see a Big Mac Watson class RO/RO |
