20 Questions Warship Quiz

OK, in the same vein as the tank quiz, I have a specific warship in mind. The collective brains of the forum have 20 questions to wangle it out of me.

You may begin:

Tom

 

is it a battleship?

 

Question 1: Yes

 

Was it sunk?

 

Question 2: Yes

 

was it a british battleship?

 

Question 3: Yes, she was

 

ww 2?

 

Question 4: No

 

ww 1?

 

euhm, seeing the large amount of names (some destroyer classes have over 30 ships) i would suggest that we stick to the name of the class. it would virtually be impossible to guess the name since we have
at least 6 navy's (Royal navy which includes canada, britain, australia,... ; theUS fleet, the kriegsmarine, the italian navy, the japanese navy, the french fleet)
6 types (submarine, destroyer, light cruiser, heavy cruiser, carrier, battleship, and then we aren't speaking about escort destroyes and carriers)
different classes per typ.
my point is, by the time that we reach the class we have already asked 12 to 14 questions and then we haven't an idea in what time we have to look (trafalgar,American civil war, WW1, interwar, WW2, postwar, after fall of communisme...)

 

Quillin, look at Question 1.

I agree that if it was a more numerous class (individual Flower Class Corvette, for example), it would be unfair but in this case you have a good chance of identifying the individual ship

Panzerman: Question 5: No

 

Was she commissioned for service in the Channel Squadron in December 1895?

 

McRis: Wow, talk about a precise question!

Unfortunately...
Question 6: No

 

post WW2?

 

Question 7: No

 

Sunk in ww1?

 

euhm, McRis, you just waisted a question. Panzerman already asked for WW1. turned out to be no.
anyway, no problem, we can crack this one long before we reach number 20. (i hope )

 

OH!Sorry! I was a bit confused about that...

PS:Hope not,we'll find it for sure! (it's on the way)

 

I'll give you that as a freebie

Still on Question 8.
