Well, here is my task for you, honorable ladies and gentlemen: do you recognize this vessel:
This ship was the very best technological achievement in a given naval class, a true inspiration for numerous constructors, and a truly heartbreaking example of the perils of a total administrative incompetence connected with otherwise completely safe and sound works of factual engineering aptitude.
This is Algérie
The Algérie was a French heavy cruiser that served during the early years of World War II. She was built in response to the Italian Zara class cruisers, incorporating better armour than previous French cruisers.
Bravo, my dear Mr. Gumalangi! The very best “strict & stringent” 10000 ton standard Treaty cruiser of the world, although her normal displacement was about 10% over the limit. She was well armored, and especially well protected against aerial bombs and torpedoes.
Please, proceed! 
Quite popular ship
Tripitz? Bismark?
no sir,. none of them,.
Yes, my dear Mr. Gumalangi, I have to admit that you really do have a connoisseur’s taste in naval esthetics! Indeed, this ship – La nave da battaglia Vittorio Veneto – surely is a very fine-looking vessel!
Here you have a direct link:

No i am not Mr Librarian 
however thank you for the compliment,.
please have your turn

Very well, my dear Mr. Gumalangi. So here it is: the very best vessel in its class, a highly successful, but almost completely forgotten construction that has fallen off her well deserved pedestal into anonymity due to the financial restrictions immanent to the post-war society…
I still havent got a clue on what is this fine looking vessel,. however,. the bridge and the funnels, suggests me, this is a JDMF’s vessel of the earlier time,.
i was thought this was Tree krone of swede,…
And that second thought of yours was almost a right solution, my dear Mr. Gumalangi! Yes, you are on the right track – please, proceed!
I found so many names under its fleet’s ships from the earlier time,. but hardly any picture,…
this must be one of those destroyer escort,.
You really posed a tough nut to crack,. and i havent touch the other british guy or at least a gentlement in His Majesty uniform,. on your other quiz,…
cheers
G
My dear Mr. Gumalangi, first of all let me thank you for your magnificent determination! Your identification campaign is truly vigorous and fine - you have worked hard and I really do appreciate your efforts.
And yes, presented picture is a true rarity – it has been overtaken from the Jane’s Fighting Ships, which was printed in 1946, although some comparable photographs are available on-line. For example this one here:
http://www.probertencyclopaedia.com/cgi-bin/res.pl?keyword=Goteborg&offset=0
Therefore here is the explanation: our mystery ship was the Swedish Göteborg class Stockhlom destroyer – a highly successful design within a so called coastal destroyer category, with six vessels in the class (Göteborg, Stockholm, Malmö, Karlskröna, Norrköping and Gavle).
Tremendously agile, armored-protected, equipped with first-rate, dependable and durable ASEA-built steam turbo-machinery, armed with three 120 mm guns, six 25 mm AA cannons, two heavy machine-guns and six 533 mm torpedo tubes arranged in two triples, these units were extremely fast, and capable to exceeded their previously planned speed of 39 knots (at least one vessel surpassed 42 knots!).
42 knots is as fast as a torpedo boat indeed,…
it is now 2-0 against me,… i am loosing am but gaining in other hand,.
please have your next vessel,… once i got it,… i ill try to event up my lost
now i will proceed with the men in His Majesty uniform,.
Cheers

You think that 42 knots are the top-achievement in the naval speed category during the WW2 among large combat vessels, my dear Mr Gumalangi? Well, perhaps astonishing factual results achieved with this ship will be able to reveal the fact that technology was capable to bring into being even superior engineering proposals.
You see, with all armament installed during initial full-power measured mile trials, this truly unique ship was capable to accomplish almost unbelievable speed of 45.8 knots! Standard fleetness in normal service was slightly reduced to 43 knots. 
sorry mr librarian,. i was on outstation for aweek,. now,. lemme get back to the your posts
Cheers

Le Fantasque
?
G
No, my dear Mr. Gumalangi. Actually this ship was undeniably inspired by French Mogador class large destroyers, and essentially represented a prototype for the highly ambivalent, but technically truly amazing Capitani Romani class of Italian combat vessels. 
Ah,…
sorry to overlook,. have your turn again Mr Librabrian,.
i was actually confuse between Fantasque or italin’s Capitani Romani
Next vessel if you please
G
Oh, thus our undully forgotten Soviet flotilla leader Tashkent, ordered under the second Five Year Plan from the renowned Italian company Odero Terni Orlando of Livorno in 1937, remained as an unresolved mystery? Well, that’s life… :roll:
Nevertheless, if you are interested you will be able to find a plethora of usable information about this remarkable vessel here:

In the meantime, here is another example of unjustifiably forgotten constructive engineering excellence for you, my dear Mr. Gumalangi.
