I think it's too early spyglass.I thought they were some attachment for people to climb up to get out of the water,hence the Dunkirk,Gallipoli theory.

Gentlemen,

 

I did a little bit of shopping: I flipped the picture.

It is indeed Gelderland (I posted her before in her new appearances.) She was a Dutch ship, build around the turn of the precvious century (HOlland Clas Cruiser, laid down in 1898), the Germans took her over and did a rebuild into a Flak ship (Niobe) aroudn 1943.

Her largest feat was the fact that she took Paul Kruger from South Afrika to Europe after the BoerWar.

 

The picture is taken in her period in life that she was fitted for being a target ship in 1941 (already in German service)

Easy mistake to make Nigel, but the Arklow Warrior had 15 X 20'' guns in 3 turrets (must be where the Iowa class boys got the idea for more than 2 guns per turret from.. true story )  :)

Jan, I'll give it to you.  HMCS Niobe was member of the Diadem class of protected cruiser, and its pretty tricky I think to get the exact ships.  However, the ship in question was in fact HMS Argonaut, although from photos a lot of them look very similar.  Don't think there is much fun having you move through the ships in the class.

 

Over to you Jan.

Cheers,
 
Jason

Yes, it is the newest Friesland. I was hoping you would have some problems in finding her.

(There is almost no reference of her under the HrMs abbreviation, and she only in service since early this year.)

It was soooo easy to confuse the two... :)

 

Thanks Nigel, my next one follows below.. Small hint, they may be a little older than you'd think (well, they were older than I thought anyhoo:) )

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
