The Anything Goes Quiz

it could not fit properly when he tried to get in the capsule

 

Pretty much. In the vacuum of space his suit swelled out just enough that he couldn't get back through the hatch . He had to open a suit valve enough to get the suit to shrink then try to stuff himself through the hatch before the suits systems resulted it to normal pressure. This took a few attempts.

 

here is my question:

what does uss wasp (cv-18), uss wisconsin and dkm prinze eugen have in common?
( i know this should be in the warship quiz but i have no luck in answering the question there, sorry)

 

All destroyed/expended in postwar Nuclear testing?

 

are you nuts!!!!
the wisconsin destroyed!!!!! :evil:
are you hi or some thing similar? :lol: :lol:
anyway is wrong answer

 

Not nuts, I just saw the Prinz Eugen on there, a vague memory that it got a dose of instant sunshine and I guessed that the same fate may have befallen the others...

 

FYI, the wasp was decommisioned in 72 and scraped in 73 :cry: :cry:
the wisconsin was descommisioned in 91 and moved to norfolk in 2000 to the national maritime museum
and the bismarck's little brother you know what was her fate :cry:

 

We dont have that strict rules there, new question can be asked by anybody if old one is answered.

 

I seem to recall a CV Wasp from WW2, on further reflection I also recall her being torpedoed during WW2... , as for Wisconsin I don't recall her, but then I'm not a ship-buff...

 

True, Wasp (CV7) was torpedoed 1942. But like all other US carriers sunk 1942, their names were reused on Essexes (SP?).

 

i think i was specific on what wasp( cv-18)
:smok:
anyway , does anybody knows the answer?

 

Multiple collisons or groundings????

 

you are on the right track!!!!

 

the uss wasp collided with the uss hobson , sadly the hobbson sank in second with all hands on board
uss wisconsin collided with the destroyer uss eaton but this time no lives were lost
prinz eugen collided with the leipzing

 

what german pilot was know to the allied as lucky 13?
and as a bonus: why?
good luck!!!!!

 

so no takers!!!! :roll:
