WARSHIP QUIZ

Harder one this time.

What is the link between this ship and a vessel that has already been mentioned in this theme?

 

Russian Rurik from 1890's.
Link is to British PC's Terrible and Powerful, as they were built to match Rurik.

 

and it was subsequently realised that they were a bit over the top.

 

Close, but no cigar.!.. hahaha! wait for the next one

 

Yep! the Rurik was a white elephant at best...don't know how it could have scared (or impressed) anybody....

 

Ok, easy one?

 

SMS Von der Tann post Jutland?

 

No no, not SMS Von der Tann...

 

Hmm okay what can we see.

Single forward turret.

Clear signs of one possibly two sets of wing turrets

Very low in the water.

That would narrow the field to a couple of classes of German WW1 battleships but SMS Nassau is the only one that I can think of that ever took significant damage ( when HMS Spitfire took a lump out of her )

SMS Nassau but I am not that confident of my answer.

 

Well, your first guess was closer than this latter one. It is a certain German ship after Jutland but not VdT.

 

Argh! At this rate I going to end up cycling through the entire German order of battle!

I was thinking Seydlitz but if anything the damage does't bad enough
I'll go for the battlecruiser Moltke

 

Actually, it is Seydlitz.

I think you got me with that one :cry:

try this

 

You dont happen to have anything bigger than that?

 

Not really no. Okay here's a clue this ship still exists.

 

HMS Broadsword?

 

No but your on the right nationality

 

It does look like a type 22 and the land does look like the Falklands and I'm sure I have seen this picture before.

 

Exists or commisioned?

Your correct to question my wording. Exists is the appropriate term.
