Give that man a prize.

 

Well done Adrieke. Your turn.

[Adrieke]

thanks David. at first I thought you photopshoped 2 bits of black lego on to her lol

 

my next one :

 

 

 

[Anja]

Hello Adriaan,

 

I can't find this ship anywhere. Where did you hide it.

Don't tell anyone , but I even tried Google image search on this one.

And what did I get ....... Everything and anything except ships. NO SHIP in sight.

 

Maybe a tiny little hint.......

 

Anja

[Adrieke]

hi Anja

 

no worries

 

first tiny hint. its a cruiser class ship . 6 of theses where build in the 1930's

 

i make tiny changes on the photos so they cant be googled

[amateur]

She looks so small for a 1930-ies cruiser....

Wild guess: Vichy-French?

 

Jan

[Adrieke]

good guess Jan

[amateur]

Check het type again: perhaps there are more ships sharing a name

As far as I can see this one is a 1960-ies destroyer, and not a 1930-ies Vichy cruiser....

 

Jan

[Adrieke]

hello Jan

 

you are absolutely correct. I should have checked the picture better when looking up details about her

 

my apologies

 

so disregard my previous tiny hint please and replace with

 

destroyer class build around 1960

[st george]

What a merry hunt that was.

 

Think I've nailed it down to the La Galissonniere D638?

[amateur]

Yup, that's her (Although technically speaking Adrieke should give the 'all clear')

 

Jan

[Adrieke]

yup David thats the one

 

your turn

[st george]

Thanks Adrieke.

 

Next from me.

 

 

Good Luck

[Adrieke]

You got her,  Well done Adrieke. Your turn mate.

[Adrieke]

thanks David

 

next from me :

[Beef Wellington]

Its one of the Type 22 Frigates (batch 1), given there is not much to differentiate them externally I'll start with HMS Broadsword.

Edited July 9, 2013 by Beef Wellington

[Adrieke]

not the HMS Broadsword Jason

[Beef Wellington]

HMS Battleaxe, now BNS Rademaker?

[Adrieke]

nope Jason but you almost got it

[Beef Wellington]

OK...next up HMS Brilliant

[Adrieke]

that's the one Jason

 

your turn

[Beef Wellington]

Wow...made my day!  Anyway, I apologize if this is too easy for all you pros out there.

 

[Adrieke]

HMS Implacable

[Beef Wellington]

You got it Adrieke...back to you

[Adrieke]

thanks Jason

 

and sorry spyglass

 

lets try this unlucky ship :

[Adrieke]

first hint

 

she sank in 1970

[amateur]

And she seesm to be a tanker of some sort....

 

Jan

[st george]

[molasses]

MV Elda, aka Empire Atoll (1941-46) and Hadrian Coast (1946-67)
