Boy, what do you do when you´re in love with them ugly ducklings?

For me, it has got to be the four stackers of the US Asiatic Fleet, the Erebus class monitors (HMS Terror) and the gunboats of the Yangtze Patrol, out of being there when the smelly stuff was thicker, uniqueness, and the glamour of the China Station respectively.

Sorry, didn´t get pics on the HMS Peterel, but here´s a link to a vault full of them: Attack on HMS Peterel and taking of USS Wake

By the way, for beauty´s sake, let´s throw in the USS Houston, to go along the DD´s.
