Re: Quiz: Can You Name This Ship?

Here's a famous WW II battlewagon.

I want to say North Carolina Class: NC or Washington

Re: Quiz: Can You Name This Ship?

This battleship was reportedly sunk on the third day of the Pacific war but survived to fight in a number of engagements.

I am going to go with an IJN Kongo Class Battleship. Either the Kongo, Hiyei, Kirishima, or the Haruna.

Re: Quiz: Can You Name This Ship?

Here is another ship for somebody to identify. There were four ships in this class, but only have one that is good enough.
Bonus question: Which ship of this class can still be seen today?




Just pulling this one up to the front.

How about a destroyer for a change?

This is the German Admiral Hipper class heavy cruiser. Three completed- Admiral Hipper, Blucher, and Prinz Eugen. Prinz Eugen was actually a slightly different design. There were also two additional units, one, Lutzow transfered incomplete to the Soviet Union and was never finished and another, Seydlitz, whose hull was used for a carrier conversion but work was stopped at a very early stage.

Two of these can still be visited. Blucher sits on the bottom of a fjord in Norway near Oslo. Prinz Eugen was used as a target ship at Bikini and now sits upside down at Kwajalean Island in the Pacific.

Britsh Leander class light cruisers. Five built to this design- Achilles, Ajax, Orion, Leander, and Neptune. Design was modified later and additional units built for the Australian Navy as Perth, Hobart, and Sydney though these had multiple funnels.

Another ship for someone to take a crack at.

Too easy because you left the name on the picture. Japanese Fubuki class. 10 built to this design with another 14 built to modified designs.

Correct. It's the Haruna , that was reported "sunk' by Colin kelly in a B-17 bombing raid off the Philippine coast on December 10, 1941. Actually Kelly, who died a hero by piloting his riddled plane until his crew bailed out, didn't hit anything with the few bombs he managed to drop.
