That's alright. All surface ships look like targets to us Submariners so it's all good. Haha.

I see walls like that I always think of Malta for some reason but I don't really know for sure.
Haha, right you are, my sources says S-9, but given that C is 'S' in Cyrillic (more or less - close enough for this purpose), I suspect that's just differences in translation. Nice work, very impressive
. The shot is apparently before the war (according to my source, S-9 was lost in '43) but just getting the sub is impressive enough .Cheers Antediluvian
. And apologies to everyone for putting an incorrect range up there (although as Antediluvian says, I suspect it wouldn't be much chop for anything beyond shore bombardment at that range).Haha, I'd have guessed an Abdiel-class even if I had no idea what it was
(and without hitting Conways, it looks very British, and cruiser-like but on the small side, so without knowing the funnel configuratioon (which I definitely don't without looking it up) that'd have been my guess. I can't match jcpvdberg though, I'd have no idea which one. Also, +1 for it being Malta .Here's another one - I'm intentionally starting with something 'hard' (although it's hard to tell what's hard around here, and if someone's seen this recently then it'll be all over in minutes
), but I have easier to identify pics if this one is a bit too obscure . The clue is that this vessel is a CV .

USS Lexington CV-2!
The HMS Welshman is a Abdiel class minelayer.Haha, I'd have guessed an Abdiel-class even if I had no idea what it was

lol, three minutes, love your work
.Aye, sorry, I know you were spot on (and very impressively so
). Sorry, wasn't trying to suggest you weren't.Here's another one - I expect this'll be fairly easy, so the clue is that it's recently seen combat!
Mikuma, I believe, following the Battle of Midway.lol, three minutes, love your work

The downside of having oxygen powered torpedoes. Mogami's Damage Control Officer ordered her torpedoes jettisoned overboard after the Mogami and Mikuma collided. Mogami was heavily damaged but survived the air attack that sank Mikuma.

Indeed its the Mikuma, you can tell an IJN vessel a mile away due to the smokestack design.

Right you both are, nice work
. You're not wrong about the smokestacks, I went looking for a shot that obscured them a bit (I also found a shot of just the smokestack, lol).Here's an oldie, well into it's lifetime by the time we hit Jan 1, 1936, but still capable of scaring nations into doing things they'd rather not....

French Ship. the Bretagne Battleship 1916?
You're spot on with the class
. That's Provence, after one of her refits (so early 20s at the earliest). Unlike Bretagne, it survived Mers-el-kabir, to be scuttled at Toulon, raised by the Germans, and scuttled again.Instead of clues for this one, you get multiple images and the knowledge it was a fairly well known vessel, hence intentionally vague pics
. Here's the first 
And here she is being launched.

I think that's HMS Hood. I've seen the first picture before. If I remember it was taken from the Prinz Eugen.
It could be HMS Prince of Wales too. I thought HMS Hood had more of a clipper bow but I could certainly be wrong.

Hood has a step at the rear with the rear gun being lower than the front gun....

Even when not knowing much about ships it is fun to follow this thread!
Am I the only one still clearly seeing German flags of a certain period on the pic?

I was thinking pocket battleship because Bismark and the bigger ships have a marked step for their Armour belt in the pictures.
I suspect one of the pocket battleships
