WARSHIP QUIZ

Wich 2 ships were called the terrible twins?

 

I know that they were two polish subs, however don´t know their name.

Che.

 

oh a clue: They were Dutch

 

oh, I thought that they were two subs of the Ursula-class, leased by Polish Navy. Operating very succesful from Malta, were know as "Terrible Twins".

Okret Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej, ORP "Sokol" was one of their names, however it could be wrong

Che.

 

The terrible twins where the Dutch gunboats Flores and Soemba

I believe they fired on german strongpoints from very close range during the invasion.
(This question sounds familiar, i have read it somewhere before but i don't know if it was this forum)

 

Yep, it sounds familiar, maybe it was at battlecruiser forum?

Golden clue but my search engines on the net can't find a damm thing, bummer

 

hmm, ok, his name was Otto Pollmann, who was a member of the 22.Ubootjgdflottilie (sry my mistake ). Fighting from january 1943 to october 1944, he sunk twelve enemy subs. There is a great book dealing with this man

No question, so I take the chance

What is the “The Galloping Ghost of the Java Coast” ?

Regards,
Che.

 

USS Houston, sunk in the Sunda Strait, 1st March 1942

IIRC the name is because the Japs did an "Ark Royal" on her, repeatedly claiming she had been sunk
