Well done! HMS Godetia was by the way almost exclusevly manned by Belgians in RN service. The Belgian Navy therefore has a vessel by the same name, a logistic support vessel . BNS Godetia, NATO number A960. Over to you! Tjeerd

Perhaps a hint would work. It was the 2nd ship of the same of the name during WW2. Cheers Tjeerd

Aha, you have the class right, its a Flower Class The nasty part is which one? Regards Tjeerd

Enjoy the holidays Eamonn

For all of you who have been waiting, this one is easy - up to a point - There are two more ships with the same name in the last century.

Dear name the ship gamers, sorry about the delay, I was without internet over the weekend. Bear with me, Regards, TJ

Aircraft carrier Akagi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_aircraft_carrier_Akagi

An afterthought... Unless you wanted to point at a ship called Washington Cheers, TJ

Now you have me totally flummoxed. (1) The flag you show was the continental navy flag from 1775 (2) Commercial vessels with a nelson pattern were obviously post 1805 - most famously the blackwall frigates of 1840-1850, although this one looks more like very early 19th century. Perhaps your ship has the same name as a ship from the original Continental Navy? Cheers, TJ

You have it! Congratulations Your turn...

Apologies about the wait. My expectation is that it will be easy! Enjoy TJ

One last try, HMS Active, reputedly the last RN square rigged ship to leave Plymouth under sail, and sister ship.to HMS Volage?

Hi, It looks like a steam frigate of the Diadem class, HMS Diadem 1856 or its sister HMS Doris? 1857. I cannot guess the unique achievent, but it did have breech loading guns. I am clueless whether these were a novelty back then. Tjeerd

I have seen this picture before. Don't have the time to follow it though. I think it may be one of those old trustworthy ships linking remote places, somehwere Nordic I presume. Perhaps between Finland and Sweden.... Or possibly Canada/Alaska. Good luck all, Tjeerd

You have it Danny

Hi David, It was a nice one. And it helps that I am old enough to have been aware of the Falklands conflict and have seen one type 42 in port from close. Thanks Kevin for posting the before and after pictures! It seems that in this game the holy grail is to post a mysteryship that attracts more than a single guess. Let me try! An added bonus : the ship had at least three names - let's identify them all. Cheers Tjeerd

Hi David, a wild guess : is a type 42 destroyer, however not in UK employ. So it must be one of the two Argentine Type 42's Given that the Hercules had a modified hangar, my wild guess is the Santa Trinidad, which was fitted with the then infamous Exocet missiles. And I guess, photoshopping the NATO numbers would leave a visible mark on the picture. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ARA_S-Trinidad.jpg Best,, Tjeerd

You have it Barnacle Bill, Was it as easy as that? Just to complete the story - The ship was supposed to have the heaviest broadside of its time, and Brazil was the third country, after England and the US, to obtain Dreadnought type ships. and

Thnks for waiting so patiently ;-) On to the next one! Tjeerd

HMS Neptune perhaps http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File%3AHMS_Neptune_(Royal_Navy_battleship).jpg

Now why did I think it might be difficult? Killkis, ex Mississipi, US pre dreadnought battleship, bought by Greece in 1914, sunk by German dive bombers In 1941. Technically I'll have to grant it to realworkingsailor, he got the name right of the vessel as depicted. St. George.got the full story right. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_battleship_Kilkis

So, sorry about the wait, it was a long work day. The advantage is with the non-europeans for the next 8 hours.. Here is the next mystery ship. I'll be travelling tomorrow, but I'll check every once in a while. Tjeerd

Italian Navy Heavy Cruiser Pola perhaps? The floatplane on the foredeck is a bit of a giveaway. http://forum.worldofwarships.com/index.php?/topic/2768-heavy-cruiser-zara/

Dear Piet, As a boy I liked to read and reread with fascination a memorial book on 40 years of Dutch Royal Navy Submarine Service, which details very much the exploits during the 2nd World War as well as the building history of the O16, O19 and O21. Some of the pictures you posted are therefore familiar to me! Now I will follow with equal fascination your build-log. Thanks for sharing! Tjeerd
