Pick the ship

[Ivan_W_S]

Arkhangelsk aka HMS Royal Sovereign, on loan to the Soviet Navy as part of war reparations from Italy instead of the promised Giulio Cesare. Since it was too difficult to send an Italian battleship to the Soviets, the Royal Navy decided to loan HMS Royal Sovereign for the meantime.

I will give you guys this as i see that @Axe99 is offline
Clue: This ship now is a museum. Had participated in Operation Deadlight.

It is that, very impressive . That's the first in the class, I65 (that what was smudged on the hull, the flag was the IJN flag, as you'd expect) in 1932.

One more for the night, an easy one as long as you're not thrown by the flag . Text on hull smudged as it would give it away to anyone that could read Cyrillic.

That is ORP "Błyskawica". I don't mean to be a jerk or something, but just because Axe is offline, you shouldn't post new ones. Few things that gave it away really fast: the part of the clue about being a museum. That was unnecessary, because it made this one too easy. Other thing that gave it away is the Polish symbol in the bottom-right corner.

Meh, it's ok. It's not like I'm going to find you and kill you But that was too easy Maybe you should try harder next time

 

[Pavelius6]

Ok, ok. Getting back to the ship, yeah it is Błyskawica - Grom(Thunderclap in eng) class destroyer

 

[Swinds]

In the Pacific

 

[Swinds]

Not who you first think, think the class rather than name on this one

 

[05060403]

Is that a Gato class sub? ((The first one))

Not trying to offend Axe by posting, but can anyone pick this ship? Clue: it doesn't look like this during World War 2.

Furious, the lone 18 incher is too hard to miss.

 

[Ibn_Solmyr]

Hehe, nice gamey thread, Axe99 !

And this one is for free, don't need to wait for HoI4 anymore !

 

[Ivan_W_S]

Correct

 

[SchwarzKatze]

Another one to kill the time when Axe is offline

The wind and backlight conveniently obfuscated the flags.

It's the only ship in its class to be built with a seaplane hangar and it was once sunk but was later restored to fighting condition again.

Japanese konga class, too less guns? I don't know I suck at anything regarding the navy

No, not Kongō, not even a battleship. But tripod masts arranged like ◁◁ instead of ◁▷ or ◁．appears to be rather Japaneseque indeed.

When you said Cyrillic I thought immediately of the Royal Sovereign transferred to Russia and renamed Arkhangelsk. But the flag doesn't look right so...

Yavuz aka SMS Goeben?


Ah, too slow.
