Name the Ship Game

[NMBROOK]

Ok then chaps,I see what you mean,but doing it that way spoils the fun,I wouldn't have seen all the lovely BBQ's outside airstream caravans or every ship owned by Arklow shipping(sorry Eamonn)     Enough waffle from me,here is the next

Kind Regards Nigel

A Warship?

E

 

Did I win?

[egkb]

Agano-class Light Cruiser Yahagi? 4 in class, think it id this one!

 

Some amazing photos of that boat surrounded by shell splashes! not a pleasant place to be!!

 

Eamonn

 

That odd crane arrangement  at/near the stern most mast (mizzen? I can't tell on these vessels ) is what I went looking for in Google, began with British ww2 cruisers and went on from there

ps any idea what's with the red circle ?

Edited November 7, 2013 by egkb

[NMBROOK]

Yes it is in fact Agano class,but wrong ship Eamonn.You get a bonus point for explaining what the red circle is for,because I don't know  

 

Kind Regards Nigel

[egkb]

Emmmm.. hmmm Agano?

[egkb]

Noshiro ? perchance

[egkb]

Possibly even Sakawa ? 

 

Thankfully there were only 4.. phew!

E

[NMBROOK]

Yes it is Noshiro,congratulations.You're go,but I'm getting my answer in first,Arklow Castle?        

 

Kind Regards Nigel

P.S.Pedalo is going up now I have said that    

[egkb]

Nice one, I actually laughed out loud at that.. yup an actual 'LOL'..   Ahhhh but which Arklow Castle

 

I actually have something, give me a few mins to stick a gun turret or an ICBM onto it in photo-Shop.. almost there!

 

Eamonn

[NMBROOK]

Now you know what the red circle was for

More than one?

 

Kind Regards Nigel

Like it                                                      

so that is what the other one looks like

Kind Regards Nigel

[NMBROOK]

Looking at the stripe,is it a Kustwacht vessel?

Kind Regards Nigel

[egkb]

Yes and no.. possibly the most accurate yet useless answer to hit Name the Ship ever !  when you get there you'll see what I mean 'Kustwacht' is Dutch is it not?

Kustwacht is Coast Watch  or at least it sounds that way !

[Beef Wellington]

OK...Tyr?

[egkb]

I was gonna give it to you Jason as there were only 2 !

 

That's the fella though

 

Over to you for the next one

 

Eamonn

[NMBROOK]

Found it ,but too slow.Yes kustwacht is the Dutch coastgaurd,the stripes look the same in black and white

 

Kind Regards Nigel

[Beef Wellington]

OK, next up from me.  Hopefully this one will last longer than 30mins! 

 

[NMBROOK]

I may be way off,but is it a converted flower class corvette?

 

Kind Regards Nigel

[Beef Wellington]

Not a converted Flower class corvette Nigel.

[egkb]

Shoreham Class Sloop ?

 

E

[egkb]

Nigel, take a look at Halcyon Class Survey Ships.. I think she is amongst these somewhere

 

Eamonn

[egkb]

HMS Jason of the Halcyon Survey Vessels Class ?

 

Eamonn

 

Am off to bed now, see ye all tomorrow

[Beef Wellington]

Just under 3hrs!  You got her Eamonn, impressed you got it the first time as there were 4 pretty similar ships...of course one jumped out as being maybe more 'relevant'

 

Over to you Eamonn.

[NMBROOK]

Sorry Eamonn

I was in bed mate,got busy day today  

 

Kind Regards Nigel

[egkb]

Thanks Jason, though I didn't spot the relevance will go take another look..

 

Eamonn

 

PS photo to follow soon

 

EDIT  Jeez what an idiot over here...early in the morning and all to that   I only copped it when typing this and posting it.. lightbulb over the head went on immediately thereafter.. Jason!!!!

I don't anticipate this taking too long, clues abound in the painting! but sure half the fun is getting the answer reasonably fast and not having to spend too many hours looking at monitors.. this is a 'keep you on your toes' kinda question 

 

Incidentally this is one of the ships I went looking for in relation to Jason/s picture above

 

Eamonn

 

[amateur]

eeeeh, there should be a number on her side, which will speed up our process of identification.

It looks like the sloop's you mentioned before...

Black swan or something like it?
