Naval quiz. You can put your own quizes.

Of course!:smiley:

I see you weren’t at all deceived by the prominent Soviet insignia, Mr. Gumalangi!
Your turn to post.

Here we go :smiley: :smiley:

That is the Austo-Hungarian "Tegetthoff" class battleship “SMS Szent István”, imediately recognisable due to the platform extending from her bridge to the aft funnel.

She was the only one of her class to have a full Hungarian crew, but unfortunately, executive meddling during her construction led to her being fitted with a different propulsion system.
She had only two instead of four turbines and propeller shafts, which gave her reduced speed and manoeuvrability due to excess cavitation, a problem which ultimately led to her doom at the hands of Italian torpedo boat MAS 15 on June 9 1918.

Yes Sir! :smiley:
You got it right to the point,. have your turn :wink:

ahh,… long forgotten,. my favorite quiz page :slight_smile:

anyone care to guess?.. interesting rear sight :d

A quick browse trough a small handbook called ONI 203 published in 1943, coupled with this battleship’s rather unique funnel and distinctive triple 6" turrets suggest this is the French battleship Richelieu.

Also, sorry I forgot about this thread…

yes indeed,… :slight_smile:

the thread is yours :slight_smile:

Thank you, Mr. Gumalangi!

Here is my humble offer: who can name at least one of these “iced” boats?

its a VIIC :smiley:

I knew you’d say that, and no, it isn’t. :smiley:

This is the bow of a VII C and, as you can see, the drainages slots are completely different…

Sorry, couldn’t help adding a few red herrings - I purposefully chose a picture which, at first sight, will make the boat look like well known German types, but, despite the familiar silhouette, the underlying details are completely different.

The way you say, i assumed this no germans :smiley:

So i opt for Stalinec class subs :wink:

Even tough the Cталинец (Stalinets) class of Soviet Submarines is somewhat reminiscent of the German submarine classes due to the close collaboration between the two nations in the interwar period as far as weapons production was concerned, unfortunately not only does my offer not belong to this class but also I can safely say it does not belong to the Soviet Navy.

Keep hunting!

i think i dont miss this time,. i had measure the wind and anticipate the movement,. this got to be bulls eye!! :smiley:

Vetehinen class,. the smaller next to it,… is Saukko class :smiley: :smiley: they both were at suomenlinna :smiley:

since the picturs poser didnot confirm it,. but i can confirm it :smiley: :D,. so ill pose my mistery vessel :slight_smile:
anyone can name this beauty?

Hmmm… that looks pretty much like the Chilean battleship “Almirante Latorre”, built in Britain in 1914 and which served in the British Navy in WW1 as “HMS Canada” , before being handed over to Chile in 1920. It was decommissioned in October 1958 and finally scrapped in Japan.

Also, I confirm those were indeed the Finnish subs Saukko and Vetehinen. Sorry I didn’t do it earlier, but I simply forgot to check this board as well…

Yes sir! you get it right :),.

No worries on the fishy icy :),. have your turn :wink:

In this case, please be kind enough to identify this floaty thing:

HMS ROBERTS - Roberts-class 15in gun Monitor :slight_smile:

And right you are! Your turn to post, my dear Mr. Gumalangi!

sorry for such a long delay,.

i was confused at the beginning,. but this one is one,. or two of its kind :slight_smile:
