Name This Naval Vessel 2

beat me to it! Your turn T.A.

 

Missing bow and superstructure. Otherwise it might have been the similarly salvaged sister ship Strasbourg

And, yes the scanner is still dead. Software issues now. Got the computer back up but having problems with periferrials.

 

How about a question this time: Name the aircraft carrier that had the largest hanger space of any built during WW 2.

 

The Taiho?

tom

 

Neither and wrong navy as a hint.

 

I believe you are correct, Jeff.

tom

 

No, Jeff isn't correct. Shinano had only a half hanger forward and aft and both were actually quite small given her size.

 

I'm now thinking of the Lexington. She and the Saratoga were very large ships. Perhaps both would qualify, but I'll go with the Lexington if we must name one.

tom

 

The USS Midway? 137 theoretical. 100 actual?

 

Check this out:

Design/Conversion: Original hull remained essentially unchanged but was fitted with large hangar, the largest hangar until CVA 59 postwar.

The [/i]Midway[/i] class isn't it either. Another hint, one-of-a-kind vessel.

 

Enterprise? (carriers is not where I am mostly familiar with!)

 

Graf Zeppelin?


D)

 

I thought for sure it would be Lady Lex. I'll have to guess USS Ticonderoga (CV-14)

 

The Hornet.

No, never mind, the Hornet was pre-war.

The Indomitable had 2 hangars. Does that count?

Thanks Jeff, I knew it was the long hulled, but wasn't sure how many had been built.
