    Give away clue...........maybe not just yet

    Two ships.

    You'll kick yourself when you discover.

    most run between 30%, and the big boys 35%.

    These are 40%.

    Six ships,
    If they would've sailed together would've arguably formed the fastest destroyer squadron in the world.

    Name the class ?

    actually...

    Le Fantasque

    After rebuild in USA for new anti aircraft and reduced torpedo armament 43-44, on trials they averaged 40 knots, and could easily sustain 37.

    close enough

    Your go

    39 knots of the "Shimakaze's" is close enough. :salute:

    On page 1, question #1 PzJgr. and Za were not correct on their answer about the only general killed in action during WWII.

    So to get things going again give me anouther general.

    Hints: B-17, France, big fortress :D

    I'll bite.

    "The Doctors were brutalized by their ordeal and became inured to ragged stumps where strong, youthful arms and legs had been, to eyes that had been shattered by concussion, to an unending variety of holes in human flesh, to grisly burns, to oozing hamburger like chests, and backs, and abdomens, to exposed intestines, to the beseeching eyes of damaged teenagers."
    Never designed as a Hospital ship, but took on the job of one.
    Before she sailed to Pearl Harbor she had 550 wounded men below decks, a number (believe it or not) surpassed...to 600 at another place.

    Name the ship.
