Yep, could be an armored merchant, or an aircraft carrier like the TSS Manxman:
She was built as a steamer for passengers in 1904 https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...px-Manxman.JPG Then served as an aircraft carrier in WW1 as HMS Manxman https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...r_service..JPG And finally a troop transport in WW2 as HMS Caduceus. Manxman? I almost can feel the vibrations of a Tourist Trophy bike between my legs. :oops: |
Well I'm always in favor of any thing that could launch a SopwithBBY :D but Jimbuna, famous for his astute hint accuracy, would surely have responded to the era's triple-expansion steam power condeser clues with "only temporarily" .:shucks: In the case of TSS Manxman inasmuch as she was coverted to an oil burner shortly after WWI to stay operational during a coal strike that shackled the steamships of the shipping line.:hmmm: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/8c/b5...c09699f8bc.gif

MASSIVE Clue: Usually sailed without an escort. |

I honestly thought once the condenser was guessed the vessel would be quickly identified. MASSIVE CLUE This vessel saw service during both world wars in a variety of roles, some of which have been mentioned above and she does feature in GWX :salute: |
