Name this Naval Vessel

wild guess but i am going for Ankhialos.

 

Unfortunately, you hit the guy sitting at the bar not the dart board with that one.....

 

Any more guesses? If not, I'll put up another one and give the answer.

 

Last guess before giving up is either Tenedos or Paralos, found reference to them in a 1943 naval almanac but couldn't find a picture of either. Tonnagge (400t) looks about right but they were classed as milayers in ww2 and the pic doesn't show any such equipment.

 

It is the Greek Navy cable ship Thalis o Mislisios ex- US Army cable ship Joseph Henry.

 

I will try to get this thread restarted:

 

the picture is rather small, I can't see it very clearly.

 

So dude, it's how I captured it from the web.

Hint: It is NOT of US origin.

 

Sorry, I'm easily distracted by shiny objects..... I'll try to be more prompt with new posts on these things....

 

I can't really make out the configuration of the armament, but it looks like Emden to me. It's just a hunch, but the basic outline checks out, anyway.

 

The superstructure looks too massive for Emden or any cruiser but the mast and control top looks German. I would guess Schleswig-Holstein entering Danzig at the start of the war or her sister Schlesien though I can't distinguish the disinctive "swan neck" cranes that would make me sure.

 

Very Good guess.

It is the Schleswig-Holstien entering Danzig.

 

Was looking for something nasty but ended up with a beautiful ship in an even more beautiful setting .....

Looks like the Italian Heavy Cruiser Giuseppi Garibaldi or it's sister ship Duca delgi Abruzzi.

 

Apart from spelling your'e perfectly correct, it's the Giuseppe Garibaldi moored at Venice. BTW the ships were known in the Regia Marina as simply Garibaldi and Abruzzi as their full names were too unwieldly.

 

OK,

Try this one.

 

USS New York ?

 

Photographed in 1944. lol.

 

Question? or your final answer?

 

Yup using the D31 camo-pattern.
