Coastal fort?

[Herr-Berbunch]

Coastal fort?

Nope, but this particular one is very near the coast.

[Catfish]

Concrete sound mirror ? :hmmm:

Some already built in WW1, to detect Zeppelins ..

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it a domed structure?

Yes, it is domed.

Anti aircraft training dome at RAF Langham Norfolk, England.

It is a former AA training dome but it's not the one at RAF Langham.

U-crank has it though as the location was optional. :woot:

Just for fun can anyone get the location? Shouldn't take too long now.

[u crank]

RAF Shoreham? :hmmm:

http://m1.i.pbase.com/g6/25/676025/3/69670031.1eoej9H3.jpg (http://www.pbase.com/ssanneru/the_galleon)WHAT TYPE OF SHIP IS THIS?

[Catfish]

Of course, it is the Vasa.
From its bow, it is a galleon, but the Vasa was more of a 'Dreadnought', a ship of the line.
Galleons usually are wooden sailing ships of the 18th century, or earlier - not much of them around in the 19th century i think.

[Aktungbby]

Close enough galleon was the correct answer your up!

[Catfish]

What is that ?
Should not be too difficult..

Definitely not, and hopefully never will.

Surveillance device?

[Herr-Berbunch]

Surveillance device?

I'll have to say no, but it may have some use to surveil a long time after this photo.

[u crank]

Something to do with navigation?

[Armistead]

Does it connect with a tragic past in some way?

[ikalugin]

Submarine sail?

[Herr-Berbunch]

Does it connect with a tragic past in some way?

Yes, but probably not in the way you are thinking.

Something to do with navigation?

Not exactly nowadays.

Submarine sail?

Ah yes, but which one?

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it a Vanguard class, maybe HMS Vigilant?

[ikalugin]

Well, I would sort of retire for now then, as it is obviously a british sub in repair/refit/scrapyard.

[Herr-Berbunch]

Is it a Vanguard class, maybe HMS Vigilant?

Well, I would sort of retire for now then, as it is obviously a british sub in repair/refit/scrapyard.

Wrong, not scrapped yet, has been repaired but not for too much, and never refitted, yet.

[Eichhörnchen]

Do we have to give the name or just the class?

[ikalugin]

Looks like Trafalgar class. If it wasnt refitted, then it is one of the older boats, Torbay perharps?

[Herr-Berbunch]

Do we have to give the name or just the class?

Just the class should suffice.

[Herr-Berbunch]

Looks like Trafalgar class. If it wasnt refitted, then it is one of the older boats, Torbay perharps?

If it's never had a refit then the chances are that it's not an old boat.

[ikalugin]

If it's never had a refit then the chances are that it's not an old boat.
Astute class?

[Eichhörnchen]

This has a definite sense of deja-vu about it: Upholder Class?

[Jimbuna]

Foxtrot?

[Herr-Berbunch]

Astute class?

http://i.imgur.com/yBFCMBK.jpg

Astute sail it is, built in sections then transported to be constructed.

[ikalugin]

I see, I would try to get something interesting.

[Jimbuna]

Not too detailed if you'd be so kind.

[ikalugin]

http://i57.tinypic.com/21osu9y.jpg
What is it? It should be very, very easy.

[Eichhörnchen]

If it's not a Soviet cappuccino-maker, is it related to submarines?

[ikalugin]

If it's not a Soviet cappuccino-maker, is it related to submarines?
It is related to submarines indeed.

[Herr-Berbunch]

Decoy?

[ikalugin]

Decoy?
no.

[Jimbuna]

Lifebelt or inflatable raft container?

[ikalugin]

Lifebelt or inflatable raft container?
No.

[Jimbuna]

Pennant/flag locker?

[Eichhörnchen]

The fins look as though they're intended to keep this thing upright during a rapid, tethered descent to the ocean floor; is it some kind of radio position-marker?

[Tango589]

Is it a mine?

[ikalugin]

No to all, though last one is getting closer. Note - the grey cylinder is only a small part of the over all system.

[Armistead]

Sonobuoy

[ikalugin]

Sonobuoy
No.

[Catfish]

Freshwater generation ? :hmmm:

[Armistead]

Is it towed behind or used by some type of submersible?

[ikalugin]

No to both, though word "towed" is a part of the name of that grey cylinder (which is a part of a larger object).

[Armistead]

well, was gonna say towed array sonar system, but that's towed....so is it part of a weapon system. The green thing seems to have a prop....hmmm, doesn't look like a torpedo I know, but I'll guess....by the wire torpedo firing system..

[ikalugin]

Good luck :)

[Eichhörnchen]

Good luck :)

Does that mean Armistead got the correct answer??

[Armistead]

not sure what good luck means.....:06:

throw another guess to cover my last post and guess towed array sonar system.

If neither, is it part of a weapons system?

[ikalugin]

If neither, is it part of a weapons system?
It is.

[Oberon]

Udav-1?

[ikalugin]

No, the weapon system in question does not use a rocket engine.

[Armistead]

Is it part of the torpedo system or not? I see what appears to be the props of a torp, but not sure what if the green item is a torp or not or maybe countermeasures.....

I've got several guesses, but anyway,.....

Some type of fuel cylinder for charging a torpedo with fuel, like Otto Fuel?

[Catfish]

Air pressure container :hmmm:

It is a part of torpedo (which torpedo?), but not for charging it with fuel.

[Armistead]

geesh, if not a wire-guidance system, IDK.....guess a MK48?

Is it some sort of system for loading?

[Oberon]

Set-65?

[ikalugin]

It does have a propulsion system similar to the mk48. The gray cylinder is indeed loaded into the torpedo tube with the weapon.

It is indeed a russian/soviet design and although the gray cylinder 8th about as archaic as SET65 (reason for that being that all weapons mist be loaded automatically, without human intervention), the weapon itself is not.

Also, who said that it isn't wire guided?

[Oberon]

Edit: UGST?

[ikalugin]

Edit: UGST?
It is the UGST indeed. The grey cylinder is for storing the guidance wire.

Nope

Nope, although it is technically an art piece from a Turner prize winner.

Yes and no. It's an art piece, but it's...it's more than that.

Stonehenge by Deller...is all I could find, but I don't see it, but that's my guess.

The car, from Deller, probably on display in the Imperial War Museum, the art object is called Exodus (?)

I do not know which car it is though ..

You? Surely not!

Is this a device for dealing death?

[Armistead]

Is it a weapon/bomb dropped from the air?

[Oberon]

RDS series weapon?

[ikalugin]

Is it a weapon/bomb dropped from the air?
The overall system (on the image but censored somewhat) is not air launched.

[ikalugin]

RDS series weapon?
No.

[Armistead]

Is this system for testing only?

Does the weapon itself travel through the air...?

[ikalugin]

No, it was accepted into military service in 1971.

Initially it does travel through air.

[Oberon]

RPK-2 / SS-N-15?

[Eichhörnchen]

The missile entered service in 1966

[ikalugin]

RPK-2 / SS-N-15?
No. Though in a number of ways you are getting close.

[ikalugin]

French "Malafon" anti-submarine missile
Not French.

[Oberon]

Is it used for ASW or ASuW? :hmmm:

[ikalugin]

ASW.

[Oberon]

Does it have underwater propulsion?

[ikalugin]

No, unless you count it's weight as means of propulsion.

[Catfish]

It clearly is a 'thrown' depth charge, but thinking of how much even alone russian models exist ... :hmm2:

It ain't any regular depth charge and in fact is not a depth charge at all.

[Oberon]

RBU-6000?

[ikalugin]

RBU-6000?
Close but it is not an RBU6000. The under water munition has a seaker (which you could see in the frontal section).

[Jimbuna]

Tis Russian in origin then?

[Eichhörnchen]

Am I close enough just saying it's a guided mobile mine?

[Oberon]

Close but it is not an RBU6000. The under water munition has a seaker (which you could see in the frontal section).

RPK-8?

[ikalugin]

Tis Russian in origin then?
Soviet. Not RPK8.

[ikalugin]

Am I close enough just saying it's a guided mobile mine?
No.

[Jimbuna]

Udav-1 anti-submarine system.

[ikalugin]

Udav-1 anti-submarine system.
No.

[Jimbuna]

So is it anti-submarine or anti-mine?

[ikalugin]

Anti submarine.

[u crank]

RBU-10000 (RPK-5 Levyen / 89R) anti-submarine weapon.

[ikalugin]

RBU-10000 (RPK-5 Levyen / 89R) anti-submarine weapon.
It is, onto you.

That is it. This particular one is on display at CFB Borden, a Canadian military base I lived on as a child.

The new one.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it a tracked missile carrier?

[ikalugin]

It is indeed tracked, however as far as I know it was never armed with a missile system.

[Eichhörnchen]

Russian?
