At least I think it's the Czech Republic, The album is in Czech. I found photos of this event where the Battle of Midway was staged with remote control boats.

Those gentlemen appear to be putting the Bismarck (or Tirpitz) into the water. At least that's what the camo paint and silhouette look like to me. Pretty good size one, too. The photos show all sorts of ships in action. I think I saw HMS Rodney, IJN Agaki and an American CV and CVE. Pretty neat stuff. -- Al

They have either the Yorktown or the Enterprise, too, (not the Hornet, she had the distinctive modified Measure 12, with the long, vertical splotches), plus an Iowa-class battle ship in the dazzle camoflage (Measure 32, I think that was). Some really impressive models!

Thanks for the link, Scott, prosit!
