Name This Naval Vessel 2

HMCS Chebogue K 317. Its the only Canadian River class frigate hit by a Gnat torpedo. That is consistant with the damage shown. The ship was declaired a constructive loss and scrapped.

 

I figured the flag gave it away

 

Who is she?

 

Either a British or Canadian minesweeper. Possibly Bridlington or Bridport.

 

Well TA, she is a minesweeper, but not of the countries you list. Though Britain did order 20 of this class, they were all maned by foreign crews.

 

Bathurst class. Australia had 38 in service, 4 more went to India. Post war several went to the Netherlands and about a half-dozen to Turkey.

Without finding the exact photo it would be difficult to pin it down to the exact ship.

 

You got the class.
How about a BIG hint. She currently is a museum ship.

 

While HMAS Whyalla is on static display outside her home town in South Australia I suspect you mean the restored HMAS Castlemaine that is now a museum at Melborne.

 

You got it. HMAS Castlemaine

 

Bringing this back from the land of the lost...........


Name her.

 

The caption in greek and the two very different height funnels does look like the Aetos class, as the only one I have info about war loss is Leon it would be my guess
but this site gives her as Panthir

Panthir is correct. Your up

 

That ship got me confused, there are shots of the Aetos class with 5 funnels but no info about a major rebuild.

So an easy one ...

Hint: She fought against her builders .....

 

I think all the sea dogs are on vacation ..... it should be easy, she's obviously an oversized destroyer or very small cruiser and not many navies built them .....

 

She was one of ww2 fastest ships at 42+ knots and was at one time painted blue so was nicknamed the "blue cruiser".
