Name that ship/sub

[Nokia]

Ok, since there are the treads "Name that bomber" and "Name that fighter" I thought that a thread "Name that ship/sub" was appropriate.

We'll start with this one
Tell me the name and class of this sub
http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/9963/whatsubuu7.jpg

[Koondawg]

That is a class "Brokenzy inhalfa" type II sub...:p

KD

[Linton]

USN Gato class.

[GoldenRivet]

I hope thats a photo of a USN weapons test on an out dated sub! :huh:

[Nokia]

USN Gato class.
Yes now tell me the name of the sub and when it was sunk.

[GoldenRivet]

could be any of the following?

USS Guardfish
USS Bream
USS Lapon

perhaps others

[fatty]

Ex-Devilfish SS-292 being sunk by Wahoo SS-565. August 14 1968.

[GoldenRivet]

Ex-Devilfish SS-292 being sunk by Wahoo SS-565. August 14 1968.

Yep... thats it. In which case its not a gato class but instead it is a balao

[nikimcbee]

I was just going to call it Fred.

[I-25]

I Had this one on a previous name that sub lets see of you guys remember:hmm:

[Linton]

I was only guessing when I said Gato.The new picture looks like a Japanese boat.

[Hylander_1314]

I was just going to call it Fred.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That would hurt!!!!!!!!!

Can anyone name this unusual boat?

[Raptor1]

Looks like an XXI with the forward 20mm turret

Something looks off though...

[Letum]

Got it, it's the Polish submarine Dzik No, it's not.
*edit* Ahhh! you went here: http://adjunct.diodon349.com/submarines/polish_submarine_dzik.htm
I have no idea why U37 is there!

Looks like a type IX with a XXI conning tower. Great pic anyway, I'm curious of what it actually is.

It's U-35. A type IXA http://www.uboat.net/boats/u37.htm
She became a trial boat and was fitted with an experimental tower later used on the XXI.

I lie how they kept the net cutter.

Yeah, I need more sleep, that was a stupid mistake

I'm not that good with naming subs, better with surface ships...

[Linton]

[joegrundman]

Aye, it's the ARA Santa Fe, formerly USS Catfish, Balao-class, Guppy2 conversion. Last sub sunk in combat.

[Letum]

Touch wood.

[Raptor1]

Restigouche or Mackenzie classes?

[fatty]

Restigouche

Excellent :up:

Hull numbers edited out for your inconvenience (Still easy)

[Schöneboom]

This one's way before your time (& mine). Hints will be deployed as needed. ;)

http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/4912/schiff1ov0.jpg

[Raptor1]

SMS Dresden!

Now what about mine?

[Schöneboom]

Good catch! Sorry I didn't ID yours first. Working on it...

[SandyCaesar]

USS Hull (DD-945), only destroyer to mount an 8-inch gun. (antennae looks right, and that turret is oversized...yeah, it's the right shape, too.)

[Raptor1]

Told you it was easy

[SandyCaesar]

My turn...let's get ancient!
http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/3789/earlydestroyersm4.jpgSo who's this older-than-the-hills lady?

[Task Force]

WOW thats old.:rotfl:

[Raptor1]

HMS Havock

Told ja I vaz gut vit ze surface schiffs

[SandyCaesar]

Yup, Raptor1. Maybe I should start posting ships which had rowers.

[Task Force]

Now thats gona be intresting.:lol:

[Raptor1]

If you want...after you guess mine

http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/370/pwnedns0.jpg

Shouldn't be hard either (Or maybe...)

[SandyCaesar]

Cressy-class cruiser, right? Those four-stack armored cruisers all look alike to me.

[Raptor1]

Yup, HMS Cressy, of the ill-fated Live Bait Squadron

[SandyCaesar]

Too bad we never get to run into these in SH3. Just imagine: "Kapitan! Three cruizerz zpotted...no ezcortz!"

Ah, the dream of every Kriegsmariner...

[Raptor1]

Or Kaiserlichemariner

Too bad ships don't stop to pick up survivors either (As far as I could see, can't remember if they did)

[Oberon]

Alrighty, since we're going back in time, how about this little gal?

http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/1908/mysteryshipdw3.jpg

[Raptor1]

Ugh, it's a Central-Battery Ironclad

I decided I hate going back in time

[Oberon]

Ugh, it's a Central-Battery Ironclad

I decided I hate going back in time

Not quiiite, would it help if I told you she only has a couple of small muzzle loaded rifles? :)

[SandyCaesar]

A ram?

[Oberon]

A ram?

Now we're hitting the mark :up:

Not many made so this should narrow it down nicely. Always had a soft spot for the Rams, I blame it on H.G Wells :rock:

[Raptor1]

Thunder Child?

Anyway, don't knows any rams personally (Unless you count the Erzherzog Ferdinand Max)

[Raptor1]

Got it, HMS Hotspur

[Oberon]

:rock: :up:

Give the man a Martian :up:

[SandyCaesar]

You would think that those masts wouldn't like the shock of crashing into another ship...:hmm:

[Raptor1]

You would think that those masts wouldn't like the shock of crashing into another ship...:hmm:
Masts, structural integrity and common sense are overrated

I think the only reason they built these rams was because of how successful ONE ship was at Lissa

[SandyCaesar]

Hehe, making good on my promise.

http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/6131/whosthisbe1.jpg

So who's this (fairly well-known) lass?

[Oberon]

The Louisa?

[Raptor1]

But she was...

Oh, wait, I'm thinking about the wrong ship

[SandyCaesar]

Nope, that was before the advent of photography (that'll give you a sense of time).

[Task Force]

The HMS Tub.:yep:

[Raptor1]

Is it connected to an Arctic or Antarctic Expedition?

[SandyCaesar]

:shifty: Task Force, you sacrilegious blasphemer, once you figure out who she is...
Joking, joking.

And Raptor1, yes. But that ain't quite the answer

[Raptor1]

Gah, I wouldn't know who or what was expeditioning in the Arctic

Sit this one out

[Task Force]

We know it has something to do with ice and the arctic. Could it be from a expidition to antartica.:hmm:

[Raptor1]

He said it's connected but:

that ain't quite the answer
Ugh, now I made myself a liar :damn:

[Oberon]

The James Caird?

EDIT: Yes...yes that's Shackletons boat alright :D

[Raptor1]

Never heard of it :-?

[Task Force]

Task Force here hasent ether.:huh:

[SandyCaesar]

James Caird it is. Ocean mythology, she's part of.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyage_of_the_James_Caird
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Trans-Antarctic_Expedition

[Oberon]

@ The ship Raptor posted and then removed again :S

HMS Bounty?

[Raptor1]

HMS Bounty?

No, forget about that one, I'll have another one soon

[Raptor1]

http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/2706/sheepvz7.jpg

[Oberon]

Egads Raptor, that's a blurry etching ;)

But let's see what we can do.

Not the Pinta is she?

[SandyCaesar]

That's not Plymouth Rock at far left, is it? The Mayflower?

[Raptor1]

Nein

This ship belongs to a type that was the forerunner of modern Armed Merchantmen

[SandyCaesar]

Fleiger Hollander.:yep: Dutch East Indiaman.

[Raptor1]

Nope, got the East Indiaman part right

Hey...wait a minute...Fleiger Hollander?

[SandyCaesar]

Ah, found it. The Doddington.

Now, before anyone tries to post Odysseus' ship...let's get back to the future, shall we?

EDIT: Yup. Fleiger Hollander. You can catch a glimpse of her in SH4...here (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=693216&postcount=5).:yep:

[Raptor1]

Bingo

Like I said, going back in time hurts

EDIT: I know

[Oberon]

Awww, I was going to post a picture of the Salaminia Trireme, if I could find one :lol:

Alright then, how about a slightly easier one, with a link to my family:

http://img383.imageshack.us/img383/2972/mysteryshipun1.jpg

[Task Force]

I looked up the ships hull number, its the HMS Arrow.;)

[Oberon]

I looked up the ships hull number, its the HMS Arrow.;)

Bah, I'd hope no-one would spot the hull number :lol: ;)

[Raptor1]

So it says H42, not 142...:damn:

If I make 1 more post until morning you are allowed to shoot me with a tranquilizer gun

I hope you post again tonight. I always wanted to use my new Tranquilizer Gun.:D

[SandyCaesar]

Uh, Janus, you might want to reverify that link...I got a 403 Access Denied error.

But, just guessing from the URL, it's the Planet Express ship.;)

EDIT: Never mind, I got the link to work...but hey! I'm pretty sure that we're supposed to be confined to Earth ships.:shifty: Else I'm going Redwall/Star Wars/Star Trek/Discworld on you.:smug: Time traveling was bad enough, as Task Force and Raptor1 will agree...I hope...

[Raptor1]

Yeah, spaceships are even worse than going back in time...

Oh, and TF, guess you'll have to use that Tranquilizer Gun on someone else

[Oberon]

Another Oberon family favourite, and an easy one to warm up with, Raptor will get this one in two seconds flat:

[sharkbit]

Pure off the cuff guess:
HMS Dreadnought
:)

[Oberon]

Pure off the cuff guess:
HMS Dreadnought

Nice guess but nope ;)

[SandyCaesar]

Iron Duke class, no idea which one. (Ha, hours of random Wikipedia surfing pays off.:yep: And all of my friends said I was crazy...:smug:)

[Oberon]

The lead ship :up: Good call :D

[FIREWALL]

Here's one for you all.


http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/7076/19348240jr6.png

[Oberon]

USS San Antonio :up:

[FIREWALL]

27 tons of steel scrap from World Trade Center 9-11 were used in the buildind of her.

http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/1234/24797835nh9.png

[Oberon]

Great ship :up:

Staying on the other side of the pond, how about this beauty?

http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/8868/mysteryship2iq5.jpg

[Raptor1]

New York class, pre-refit?

Oh, and I would've gotten Iron Duke in less than 2 seconds, if I was here

[FIREWALL]

@ Oberon I don't know but , it looks dangerous. :yep:

[Raptor1]

Whoops, sorry, that would be USS South Carolina

Knew something was wrong with my last guess

[G.K.]

Rivadavía?

First I guessed HMS Agincourt, looks quite similar, but I was missing the 7th turret...

[Raptor1]

Not even close

[Oberon]

Nope, I've spent the best part of an afternoon scouring the web and I can't figure out what the 'eck it is. :damn: :lol:

[Raptor1]

Bah, did G.K. have to edit his post after I already posted?

It's Rivadavia's sister ship, Moreno

[Oberon]

Aaaaah. I thought she was an USN ship but she didn't match up with any I saw, so then I was suspected Italian, but I didn't suspect Argentinian :damn: :lol:

[Raptor1]

Aaaaah. I thought she was an USN ship but she didn't match up with any I saw, so then I was suspected Italian, but I didn't suspect Argentinian :damn: :lol:
Was built in the US

When I first saw this ship (On a very similar thread to this, on another forum), I thought she was a USN ship too (bloody cage mast)

[G.K.]

Bah, did G.K. have to edit his post after I already posted?

Whoops, I missed your posting...:oops:
