Ok, before we continue, I'd like to point out some things I noticed lately: In this quiz, we talk about WW2 -era ships but some ships may have served already during WW1. Also, during WW2, some countries switched sides or joined war really late. Therefore it might be a bit incorrect to describe some country as 'axis' or 'allied' or even 'neutral'.
Hopefully we could make up some kind of 'specification' for country for being axis, allied or whatever.
I suggest following: As no country changed sides before 1943, then January 1. 1943 could be a magical date. If country was axis back then, lets consider it axis in this quiz. Same goes for allied and neutral countries.

Now, after that, I have a new ship.

Q#1?
