NMBROOK Posted November 12, 2013 #2014 Posted November 12, 2013 I have given up.It seems in the 1930's acme must have offered a flat pack destroyer and everyone bought one Kind Regards Nigel egkb 1 Currently working on Royal Caroline
egkb Posted November 12, 2013 #2015 Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) Hmmmmm how to give a clue without making things tooo easy... let me think.. try this! At one time this country had a substantial navy.. in fact one of, if not THE largest Naval ship in the world came from here! There, how's that for a clue.. bit too easy if you ask me, but I don't want to put anybody off with near impossible ships! Eamonn Edit..BTW Nigel we are actually into the early 20's.. told you she was older than she looks.. the year/s amazed me too! E Further Edit.. Sorry Jason, missed out on your answer.. again almost a copy, but she isn't an Aussie.. wrong hemisphere!

NMBROOK Posted November 12, 2013 #2018 Posted November 12, 2013 HRMS Kortenaer? Kind Regards Nigel Currently working on Royal Caroline
amateur Posted November 12, 2013 #2019 Posted November 12, 2013 But the spanish alsedo-class (early twenites) has 4 funnels, and not 2 The other class is not early twenties, but does look very, very much like yours. (or is 1925 still early, in your definition?) Jan egkb 1
amateur Posted November 12, 2013 #2020 Posted November 12, 2013 It does look like Kortenaer, but I don't think 'we' even had a double white band around the funnel... Jan
NMBROOK Posted November 12, 2013 #2021 Posted November 12, 2013 I think Eamonn's stuck a sneaky one in and it belongs to Luxembourg's Navy I think there is a chance it's Dutch because a lot were built in Barrow in the UK which will explain the similarities to British Vessels.The designer must have gone to Germany on his holidays for the Narvik influence Kind Regards Nigel Currently working on Royal Caroline
egkb Posted November 12, 2013 #2022 Posted November 12, 2013 Not Dutch... Not Vasa.. much bigger than Vasa! Occre do a kit of her.. rem this is only for the Nationality not the vessel (there are quiet a few in class so the 'Class' itself will do!) For fun use the Occre hint as a last resort,,, this Ship of the Line was quiet a bit bigger than Victory !
