Which warship would be the best command?

If you could captain any warship, which would you choose?

Probably a World War II Town-class cruiser: destroyers demand a more naturally aggressive commander, while a battleship requires greater seniority and gravitas.

Destroyers such as Nubian offer an appealingly active war, but their command calls for a naturally aggressive temperament. A World War II Town-class cruiser such as Sheffield or Liverpool is the preferred balance of responsibility, activity, age, and experience. A battleship captain needs greater seniority and gravitas, while a sloop would be the easier assignment for someone in their mid-30s. A captain must project certainty and become the bedrock the crew can rely on, with that burden increasing as the ship grows larger.
