Does anyone know why the Germans built FACs it seems a bit pointless to me if they were used in the baltic sea. When during the cold war it was more the submarine that was a threat than surface ships or was there a large concentration of russian surface ships in the baltic region.Corustar 16:31, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, the Baltic fleet was first the main fleet in the west. The Schnellboote should prevent a running out of the Baltic fleet into the Atlantic. Thus they forced to remove the Soviet Union their naval base in Murmansk and to station the majority of their fleet there under climatically unfavorable conditions. This meant a substantial logistic expenditure for the Soviet Union. In addition the task of the S-Boote was the protection from landing operations, which were expected in Denmark and Norway. In the North Sea the S-Boote should secure the entrance of the allied ones to the German ports. But fast high-sea-suited boats were necessary. --WerWil 21:49, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] American Civil War

What's uhmerica got to do with it, the ancient ships of the Med had rams built in for attacking. Stupid yanks relating everything back to Lincoln and calling biscuits cookies.83.70.35.39 19:16, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

OK, "Small offensive ships were already in use ... at any Time in naval History. That's really no news. American civil war is no turning point in this. --WerWil 17:00, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
