st george Posted September 29, 2014 #3068 Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) Time for a clue I think. She is A Royal Navy ship and the fourth to have the name. Edited September 29, 2014 by st george Quote David Current Build : HMAV Bounty - Amati Next Build : 18th Century Longboat
st george Posted October 4, 2014 #3070 Posted October 4, 2014 Correct Werik. HMS Bellerophon was a dreadnought of the Royal Navy. She was the lead ship of the Bellerophon class, and the fourth Royal Navy vessel to bear the name of the mythic Greek hero. Built at the Royal Dockyard in Portsmouth and completed in 1909, Bellerophon first joined the 1st Battle Squadron and then upon the outbreak of war joined the 4th Battle Squadron where she remained until 1919. She was present at the Battle of Jutland where she fired sixty-two 12 inch rounds and received no damage. With the end of the war she was placed in the Reserve Fleet and sold for scrap in 1921 before being taken to the breakers two years later. Over to you.

Werik Posted October 10, 2014 #3074 Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) No, not the Regele, this one hailed from Scandinavia. Edited October 10, 2014 by Werik Quote
Werik Posted October 13, 2014 #3075 Posted October 13, 2014 Maybe time for a little hint? Being in the wrong place at the wrong time, she was investigated by the vanguards of two opposing forces. The shots fired during the confrontation were the first fired of the subsequent battle. Quote
Werik Posted October 19, 2014 #3076 Posted October 19, 2014 Looks like interest has waned. Another hint or two to move things along.... She was a Danish vessel minding her own business who got pinched between the two opposing forces at the onset of the Battle of Jutland. mtaylor 1 Quote

Werik Posted November 11, 2014 #3078 Posted November 11, 2014 Robhvw, you are correct. Hopefully you can revive the game with the next ship. Good luck. Quote

Beef Wellington Posted December 8, 2014 #3084 Posted December 8, 2014 I think we need to remind folks that a key to the success, and rule, of this game is that the correct guesser posts a new ship. If you're not prepared to do that, don't guess. st george and egkb 2 Quote Cheers, Jason "Which it will be ready when it is ready!" In the shipyard: HMS Jason (c.1794: Artois Class 38 gun frigate) Queen Anne Royal Barge (c.1700) Finished: HMS Snake (c.1797: Cruizer Class, ship rigged sloop)
trippwj Posted December 8, 2014 #3085 Posted December 8, 2014 From post #1 - Rules are simple: 1) Someone posts a picture of a ship, someone guesses the name of the ship. Whoever gets it right, posts the next picture. Make sure the name isn't showing. 2) It is to the poster to follow the thread as long as its ship was not found, and to be the judge of the proposed solutions. So, without the consent of the poster, the next one is not to post a new ship. 3) If the ship's name isn't guessed in a fortnight, the same player will show a picture with the ship's name and post a new "name the Ship picture. 4) If the player whose turn it is has not replied in a fortnight, then the previous winner gets to post again. mtaylor and jud 2 Quote WayneNeither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.Epictetus
