NMBROOK Posted November 9, 2013 Share #1985 Posted November 9, 2013 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.

amateur Posted November 10, 2013 Share #1987 Posted November 10, 2013 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) Jan egkb and NMBROOK 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beef Wellington Posted November 11, 2013 Share #1992 Posted November 11, 2013 Not HMS Terrible Nigel, nor indeed any of the Powerful class....but you're getting close, there are similarities.

egkb Posted November 11, 2013 Share #1993 Posted November 11, 2013 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 ) Eamonn Won't be able to join in the game till much later today guys.. see ye all then. PS Nigel, try Arklow Castle !!.. there have been a few up already maybe it's a repeat !

amateur Posted November 11, 2013 Share #1994 Posted November 11, 2013 Just a guess: HMCS Niobe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beef Wellington Posted November 11, 2013 Share #1995 Posted November 11, 2013 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. Quote Cheers, Jason "Which it will be ready when it is ready!"

amateur Posted November 11, 2013 Share #1999 Posted November 11, 2013 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.) Jan NMBROOK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
