Oops! I was looking into USN WW1 uniforms today with particular interest in summer jumpers, and leggings, and came across some medal images which sparked my comment. Hmmmm....

[mapuc]

I know it isn't

But it looks like some creature from some old Dr Who episode

Markus

[Aktungbby]

a still?

[Armistead]

Not Dr Who related or a still

[Buddahaid]

Is that a spark plug on top?

[Jimbuna]

A BBQ?

[Armistead]

Not a spark plug or bbq.... What you see is just a crop of a much larger something. Although it's nothing like a still in anyway, that was the closest guess so far..

[Aktungbby]

IS THE THING ON TOP A VENT OF SOME SORT?

[Armistead]

IS THE THING ON TOP A VENT OF SOME SORT?

I guess it does that in a way

[Aktungbby]

OF A NUCLEAR NATURE?

[Armistead]

OF A NUCLEAR NATURE?

It was before the nuclear period...

[Aktungbby]

POISON GAS CONTAINER OF MILITARY TYPE?

[Armistead]

POISON GAS CONTAINER OF MILITARY TYPE?

nope

[Aktungbby]

OLD WATER SOFTNER TANK?

[Jimbuna]

Is it farming related?

[Armistead]

Not a softner tank

I wouldn't say it's farming related at all in itself...

[Jimbuna]

A train?

[Armistead]

A train?


I'll let it go with that, Dewitt Clinton 1831 train..

All yours Jim

[Jimbuna]

What is this?

[Aktungbby]

a boat?

[Catfish]

A flying boat?

[Buddahaid]

Laying the transatlantic cable?

[u crank]

Is this a photo from WW2?

[Jimbuna]

a boat?

Yes

A flying boat?

Nope, doesn't fly

[Jimbuna]

Laying the transatlantic cable?

Afraid not.

Is this a photo from WW2?

Quite possibly but could also be WWI era.

[Aktungbby]

IS IT A MILITARY TRAWLER?

[Jimbuna]

Not a trawlwer but I can see how the cropped photo can give that impression.

[Armistead]

Was it used in a movie?

[Buddahaid]

Well I see a smallish boat apparently entering a small channel with some people and stuff in the foreground, and it appears to be a port on a large river, or bay.

I'm going to guess it's a sub pen.

[Jimbuna]

Was it used in a movie?

No.

[Jimbuna]

Well I see a smallish boat apparently entering a small channel with some people and stuff in the foreground, and it appears to be a port on a large river, or bay.

I'm going to guess it's a sub pen.

No, the boat in question is a military vessel though.

[Catfish]

Something like a lash lighter?

[Jimbuna]

Getting warm, it is certainly strange in appearance.

[Buddahaid]

I guess what I need is to define what the "what" we are trying to figure out is. The foreground, the military vessel, the place? There is so much there it's difficult to focus on finding an answer.

[Jimbuna]

What we have established is that it is a military vessel/boat. An unusual one at that and one that served in both WWI and WWII.

Its location in the picture is not important and simply put, what is the vessel in question.

[Catfish]

if ww1 it can't be a hydrofoil.. :hmmm:

[Aktungbby]

IS IT A COMBAT VESSEL OR AN AUXILIARY SERVICE/NONCOMBAT VESSEL?

[Buddahaid]

Another stab. A floating dry dock.

[Jimbuna]

if ww1 it can't be a hydrofoil.. :hmmm:

Obviously not :)

And much slower (good hint is that).

[Jimbuna]

IS IT A COMBAT VESSEL OR AN AUXILIARY SERVICE/NONCOMBAT VESSEL?

Definitely combat.

[Jimbuna]

Another stab. A floating dry dock.

See above.

[Eichhörnchen]

Not sure what one of those are.

This is a military warship that saw service in both world wars.

A combat vessel with quite a large offensive capability, saw service in both world wars.

[Buddahaid]

Seaplane lighter?

[Jimbuna]

I wouldn't have thought a lighter would have much of an offensive capability :)

[Aktungbby]

A combat vessel with quite a large offensive capability, saw service in both world wars. 15 IN. GUNS?

[bracer]

American?

[Catfish]

Not one of the Lend-Lease four-stackers?
Not that it looks like one :hmmm:

[Jimbuna]

15 IN. GUNS?

Yes and well done but I still think the obvious questions have up to now not been asked.

[Jimbuna]

American?

Not one of the Lend-Lease four-stackers?
Not that it looks like one :hmmm:

No, 15" are a tad large for a destroyer and not an American vessel.

[Aktungbby]

one of the Elizabeth class battleships?

[Buddahaid]

I wouldn't have thought a lighter would have much of an offensive capability :)

Well that is not as obvious as you want to make it. Large offensive capability could mean lots of guns etc., one massive gun, one large aircraft..... I'm still not certain if I'm supposed to be identifying the vessel that appears behind stuff in the foreground, or what the foreground is blah, blah, blah.

Identify the vessel, the foreground as you call it is actually part of the vessel.

https://i.imgur.com/Nzvo8dg.png The Italian 'Monitor' Faa di Bruno

[Aktungbby]

THAT'S GOTTA BE IT!; GLAD I HELPED:O: I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT 381MM=: Faà di Bruno was built when Cannone navali da 381/40 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannone_navali_da_381/40) guns from the Francesco Caracciolo-class (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francesco_Caracciolo-class_battleship) battleships became available after their construction was suspended in 1916. Italy planned a class of four dreadnought (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreadnought) battleships to succeed the two ships of the Andrea Doria class (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrea_Doria-class_battleship) to be armed with 381 mm (15 in) guns to match the British Queen Elizabeth class (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Elizabeth-class_battleship). The Italians ordered thirty guns in 1913, ten each from Ansaldo-Schneider (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gio._Ansaldo_%26_C.), Armstrong-Pozzuoli, and Vickers-Terni (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oto_Melara). The guns had identical ballistic performance, but differed in construction. The government favored the English design and ordered another ten in 1914 from Armstrong-Pozzvoli despite the fact that the Ansaldo guns only weighed 63 long tons (64 t) compared to the Armstrong's 84 long tons (85 t). ALSO MEANS 15 INCH GUN!?? MATH CONVERTING INCHES TO MM DECIMALS IS BEYOND MY ABILITY:oops:

[Jimbuna]

https://i.imgur.com/Nzvo8dg.png The Italian 'Monitor' Faa di Bruno

That's the one, I'll not bother posting was is the identical picture.

Not a sewer.
The view is from the wrong side, the other angle would give it away too easily.

[Catfish]

It's not primarily a canal, or a sewer.
Though water may have played a role.

[Catfish]

Hint 1: Those.. installations are not limited to italian (core-roman) ground

But i am asking where this is, and what.

[Jimbuna]

Is it located under Church Street in York?

[Aktungbby]

Not directly in Rome, but not too far away though.

Is it located under Church Street in York?:Kaleun_Salute:that seems pretty far away from Rome:hmmm:

[Catfish]

Is it located under Church Street in York?

No, as said before this one's near Rome. And not a sewer, though water may (or may not) have been present. It was not built as a sewer.

But as said before, such installations can sometimes be found where Romans have been, so also in England. I just read that something like this also has been found in York, but i found no details about where exactly. In London, sure.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mithraeum

The mithraeum at Ostia, the former port of Rome to the mediterranean sea before the Tiber changed its river bed and the harbour silted up long ago. Ostia is connected to Rome by a roman street called Via Ostiense, roughly 100 km away.

"Mithraeums" or Temples of Mithras can be found in many cities, one e.g. being in London
https://secretldn.com/roman-temple-london-mithraeum-bloomberg/
(Whatever they did with the light here, Kitsch!)


The statue shows Mithras killing a bull. Mithras here may have been the persian/iranian god, or some roman adaption of said religion. The Mithras cult existed in its roman form from roughly 200 A.D to 500 A.D. and ebbed away with upcoming christianity. Not much is known, it was a secret cult with initiations and seven trials to master; written reports were forbidden and so nothing much has been found.

Mithraeum temples were created as caves since Mithras was said to have been born by a stone, also most certainly to keep the holy places hidden over the centuries.

The cape or tunic of Mithras has sometimes been found painted, showing some kind of a star map. The geographic north pole as well as the ecliptics have changed in the last thousands of years, so the north star has been different back then. The killing of the bull probably represents the changing away from the bull zodiac in the ecliptics.
Back then the world was accepted to be standing still and the center, while the rest was either fixed (stars) or turned around it (sun and planets). So a god able to move the fixed stars (in reality depending on the wobbling/precession of the earth) must indeed have looked almighty..

"Today we know that the earth rotates on its axis once a day, and revolves around the sun once a year. However, Greco-Roman astronomy at the time of the Mithraic mysteries was based on a so-called "geocentric" cosmology, according to which the earth was fixed and immovable at the center of the universe and everything went around it. In this cosmology ..."

Most definitely not Bin Laden, Jim.

Nor "El Orans" Lawrence of Arabia.

If I made the pic any bigger it would be a dead giveaway seeing as it's been plastered all over the net ( if you know where to look :) )

Another clue then:-

He died taking a great secret to the grave with him.

[Aktungbby]

british?

What in that getup???.........Yes.

[Aktungbby]

post WWII?

[Eisenwurst]

He lived into quite modern times.

Another clue :-

I have a somewhat tenuous connection with him :)

[Aktungbby]

did he ever famously use the expression: "bovine scatology" in a press briefing?

[Eisenwurst]

Don't we all?? But no, not to my knowledge.

He was very Old School. A perfect Gent.

[Eichhörnchen]

Did he hold his Commission during WW2?

[Aktungbby]

did he ever have a Plan?

[Eisenwurst]

Eich. No.

Aktung. HAHAHA ( Sorry but he's VERY iconic ), you could say he had a plan.

Another clue. He was very heavily involved in Catering. The World owes him a lot.
