WWII Forums Quiz Part VI

I have 32-00 North, and 137-00 East
Close enough
Yer go
Poor/non-existant damage control, or it wouldn't have sunk at all!
4 torpedo hits, not really enough to sink something of that size/armor.

 

Yeah big shame it sunk was actually a very nice carrier.Ok an easy one this time.The IJN obtained 2x EX Chinese light cruisers in 43-44.What were their original chinese names and their names when in IJN service.

 

Yasoshima...x-Ping Hat
Ioshima.....x-Ning Hai

 

How many of the 300 "Flower" class Corvettes built by Britain and Canada were handed over to the U.S. (when it entered the war) as an emergency measure.
For whos emergency is unclear. All I guess.

 

Whoa hard one but i take another stab at it.10 UK units and 8 canadian units were tranferred to the USN.Oh other than a small spelling mistake,you are spot on again skunk good work.

 

25 according to my book (not unexpected)
close enough.
Yer go

 

At the risk of cutting in line on Mr. Fleaman;

How many torpedos were fired off in anger by the Royal Navy (as a whole, including naval aircraft) throughout the war?
As well, how many were fired by MTBs?
As well, how many were certain hits, and how many were probable hits?

Here are the numbers...unscramble them.

7381382310277

 

The numbers are exactly backwards.

7720 fired
1328 fired by MTBs
318 hits
37 probables
the rest, flotsam & jetsam

 

Wow ! that is only a 4% return on your investment. Can't win any wars like that.

I remember reading Swordfish dropping some on their on ships by mistake when hunting for the Bismark but they did not explode.

 

I believe it's still Fleamans turn, but.
In response to TA152 I found another interesting fact about torpedos fired and hits made.
The Japanese fired 152 torpedos in the seven hour battle of Java Sea, with only three hits.
