WARSHIP QUIZ

No, its not USMC, not even from america (north or south). Its from Europe.

 

That cammo looks swedish....

 

Getting closer but not swedish.
Additional hint: She's one of a kind.

 

Finnish then?
Maybe T 2000 class??

 

Yes, correct. Althought we cant talk about "class" when only this one prototype was made. Still looking for the name...

 

It had the look of a personal photo, I tried looking up hovercraft of Finland but if it is a one off no wonder I didn't find it.

Okay try this

 

I have no idea. Absolutely no idea. No class, no country. Only that it might be built bethween 1900 and 1920.

And to get back to that hovercraft, its called "Tuuli" (Wind).
Displacement 90 tons
Lenght 27.4 meters
Width 15.4 meters
Speed 50 knots
Power 6000 KW
Crew 10

Class cancelled due to changed naval doctrine, prototype offered to sell abroad.

 

Nope

Hint American late nineteenth century






Big hint very odd weaponary.

 

Another hint Dynamite gun

 

That was a real giveaway hint.
"Dynamite Cruiser" Vesuvius

Yep, I wasn't sensing a whole pile of progress

 

Well, actually, I haven't started going thru Hazegray, warship1 etc before that last hint.

But my turn now:
What is the longest range at which a Royal Navy vessel has ever fired upon an enemy? (only gunfire counts, no missiles). Which ship, which gun?

 

Ship on ship: HMS Warspite on the Italian battleship Guilio Cesare range 26000 yard approx. (23,770 m)

Ship on land target: HMS General Wolfe engaged a railroad bridge at Snaeskerke at a range of 36,000 yards (32,920 m)

 

Latter one was the one I was looking for. First one is longest gunfirehit to other ship by RN but is it longest range ship to ship -shooting RN has ever took part?
By the way, did HMS General Wolfe actually hit that bridge?
(these aren't part of the quiz, I just want to know these)

 

I've read suggestions that the range between the two Scharhorst class battlecruisers and the British carrier Glorious might have been longer, but it is impossible to be certain.

I have no idea whether the General Wolf took out the bridge but I did find a nice set of pictures of someones model of the ship here http://www.steelnavy.com/BolyaiShow2004AG.htm

 

What ship is believed to a scored the most hits with a single salvo?

Ruling out any post WW2 engagements

 

Apparently USS San Francisco archieved seven hits with single salvo.

 

i think is about 26,400 aprox, but as you say is not sure

 

Yes unfortunately the ship hit was the USS Atlanta

What was the position of the three survivors from the battlecruiser HMS Hood.

 

at what distance was this result achieved, and how many guns were fired?

Third wave from the left...
