Town class destroyer?

I was thinking maybe carrier. :06:

[Jimbuna]

I was thinking maybe carrier. :06:

Much smaller

Town class destroyer?

Afraid not

Clue: It is a destroyer

[Catfish]

Since the hull seems to have a kink or bend i thought of the Campbeltown, and St. Nazaire.. but had another bridge.

English?

[Jimbuna]

Not English

[Aktungbby]

'Merican?

[Jimbuna]

Afraid not

[Catfish]

Japanese?

[Jimbuna]

Japanese?

Hai

[Catfish]

They sure had some good-looking ships :hmmm:

[Jimbuna]

Most definitely.

CLUE: Your lot sunk it.

[Buddahaid]

Minekaze?

[Aktungbby]

[Catfish]

Minekaze?
Could be right..

[Aktungbby]

Wakatake class?

[Jimbuna]

Wakatake class?

Bingo...which one?

[Catfish]

Does the ship's name begin with a W :hmmm:

[Aktungbby]

Kuretaki?

[Jimbuna]

Kuretaki?

Not that one.

[Jimbuna]

Does the ship's name begin with a W :hmmm:

I know exactly what your game is :har:

In answer though, it has to be Yes :03:

[Aktungbby]

Well, having led Catfish to the promised land...i now my write my death haiku:arrgh!:

[Buddahaid]

Must be Wakatake class.

[Aktungbby]

Wakatake class?

Bingo...which one?

Does the ship's name begin with a W :hmmm:

Must be Wakatake class. yup In the interest of the game...IJN Waketake errr I led myself to the promised land!:o:shucks:

[Catfish]

Yes, but the ship's name is not Wakatake i think ?

[Jimbuna]

After Aktung correctly named the class 'Wakatake' and I asked which one, Kai came in with the 'W' question and seeing as only one of the class begins with the letter 'W' I thought he was taking the pistolero :03:

In short she is in fact the name ship of the class Wakatake (Bamboo sprout)

That's Mardi Gras in Lae. Indeed when you're "struttin yer stuff '' trying to get Lae'd, you could rightly be called the cock-of-the-walk:arrgh!:

[Jimbuna]

Mexico?

[Aktungbby]

nope to both. big hint answer is 5 words-in-name. There R 2 types of the species; each with the geographic 1st word in the name. I'd show another pic, but that'd give it away. The puzzle is the more easterly and more colorful of the 2. ALLRIGHT here's another pic> https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=815&pictureid=11910 This critter could be squawkin': "here's lekkin' at you kid'' to its intended

[Catfish]

no and no, tip: french

[mapuc]

Citroen ?

Markus

[Catfish]

Not Citroen

[mapuc]

Renault ?

Markus

[Catfish]

Not a big manufacturer, quite rare indeed, but parts from Renault

[Aktungbby]

60's?

[Catfish]

Yes, 1960ies

[Buddahaid]

Sovam 1100VS. I have to check but I seem to recall Alain Prost had something to do with this but I'm probably mistaken.

Mistaken alright.

[Aktungbby]

alpine?

[Catfish]

no, not an Apine. No Renault by marque

[Buddahaid]

Sovam 1100VS.

You missed it.

[d@rk51d3]

Sovam 1100VS.


That’s what I came up with too. :Kaleun_Salute:

[Catfish]

That's it, pictured is the Sovam 850VS but body is the same and it's close enough!

Alright.

Tail gun Charlie.

[Aktungbby]

british bomber? possibly Lancaster variataion https://www.airport-data.com/images/aircraft/001/553/001553743.jpg

[Jimbuna]

No clearer image?

[Catfish]

Looks quite ugly, so could be british :O:
Only found a rudder of this form with the german He 177, but the tail turret/canopy does not fit of course.

German?

[Buddahaid]

Not a Lancaster and not German. I can expand the image but I don't think I can make it clearer.

[Aktungbby]

British?

[Jimbuna]

A total stab in the dark (not that I can see the image) Wellington?

[Catfish]

i don't know whether this helps, but it seems to be a bomber or at least bigger plane, have a single fin and rudder, not a twin one like the Lanc, also this rudder has a diagonal cutout from the base - so does not seem to be a Wellington, but..

So, british?

[Jimbuna]

i don't know whether this helps, but it seems to be a bomber or at least bigger plane, have a single fin and rudder, not a twin one like the Lanc, also this rudder has a diagonal cutout from the base - so does not seem to be a Wellington, but..

So, british?

Appreciated but I've no idea how you can make out that much detail :o

Oh and BTW, Aktung asked 'British' two posts up from yours :03:

[Catfish]

Oh and BTW, Aktung asked 'British' two posts up from yours :03:
Ouch :haha: ... :oops:

[Aktungbby]

Ouch :haha: ... :oops:You're clearly worn out from our titanic struggle in the Whacko thread!:O:

[Catfish]

^ yes i am, this last race will haunt me for days to come :doh:

[Buddahaid]

Not a Wellington and not British. I can't do anything about the image while at work.

[Jimbuna]

Military aircraft?

[Catfish]

American?

[Buddahaid]

Yes military and not American.

[Catfish]

Hmm russian?

[Buddahaid]

Not Russian.

European bomber?

[Buddahaid]

Not a European bomber.

[Aktungbby]

is it a bomber at all?

[Buddahaid]

It did perform bombing missions.

[Aktungbby]

two or four engine?

[Buddahaid]

Four.

[Aktungbby]

used in WWII?

[Eisenwurst]

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

Kawanishi H6K "Mavis".

Sorry Aktung...I hate to gazump anyone...but I knew this one. :)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawanishi_H6K

A beautiful looking plane.

[Buddahaid]

Yes that is the very image.

[Aktungbby]

nonsense! U should petition Neal for a name change to Gazumpwurst :O: but I was dithering about looking under "Japanese 4 engine bombers" and getting zilch. I should have been looking under " Japanese flying boats" and I'd have gotten it. So all's jake mate! You're up: fair and square, and thanks for participating! :yeah:

[Eisenwurst]

@ Aktung, no wuckers ( abbreviated aussie spoonerism ) , and congrats for your equal win/draw? in W.A.S.

O.K. Moving right along...

http://i.imgur.com/ZyjOEj3.jpg

Where is this and what is it ??

:D:D

[Aktungbby]

Nipponese temple?

[Eisenwurst]

In Japan yes, but where? And more a shrine actually.

[Aktungbby]

Yasukuni shrine ?

[Eisenwurst]

No.

A clue....it's a place of pilgrimage and much prayer :yep: Many years ago a miracle happened there.

[Aktungbby]

A shinto shrine?

[Eisenwurst]

Yes. But it's become somewhat touristy in recent years.

[Catfish]

Something to do with christianity?


OT re the 'Mavis' flying boat, this had really fooled me! Saw the rudder with the diagonal cut alright and what i thought the only one since it is mounted centrally, but no idea that there were two others on both sides.. only thought of a single or twin tail. Serves me right :haha: Seems i also mislead Jim, sorry..

[Eisenwurst]

No Kai, nothing to do with Christianity.

The Miracle is attested in folklore not history.

[Jimbuna]

Nara’s Hase-dera Temple?

[Eisenwurst]

No, sorry Jim.

Another clue, a lot of foreigners are flocking to the shrine, for their annual festival, since they've discovered it in recent years. It used to be only locals.

[Jimbuna]

Yasaka Shrine?

[Eisenwurst]

No.

There's a local legend (a number of versions ) associated with it.

[Aktungbby]

Jimbuna and I, both 'local legends' in our own time, will be attending the Kanamara Matsuri festival in hopes of a prayerful miracle!:O:

[mapuc]

Jimbuna and I, both legends in our own time, will be attending the Kanamara Matsuri festival in hopes of a prayerful miracle!:O:

If you send us, you friends here, a lot of money we will send you a
certificate of Miracle.

Markus

[Aktungbby]

Oji shrine?

[Eisenwurst]

Sorry guys, I'm back. Time zones play havoc with this game.

Not Oji Shrine Aktung

However you are otherwise correct.

http://i.imgur.com/LH0HbCH.jpg

It's the Kanamara Shrine in Kawasaki Japan.

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

There's a very raunchy festival held annually to give thanks for the expulsion of the demon. Not sure if I should post the Youtube music video that's been posted showing the parade and festivities, but if anyone's interested it's out there, I'll point you in the right direction.

[Aktungbby]

So over to me by default ....and ....inuendo??:arrgh!: My jest was a shot in the dark :doh:that such a festival would exist and there was no Shinto shrine posted. I merely looked up "Festivals based on myth" and was amused at the priapismic subject matter of the Kanemara Matsuri! https://media.timeout.com/images/102598468/1024/576/image.jpgThis most curious of traditional Japanese festivals is a yearly highlight at Kawasaki's Wakamiya Hachimangu shrine. Celebrating fertility in a no-holds-barred kind of way, the Kanamara Matsuri attracts both masses of locals and a considerable tourist contingent, and is carried out in a carnivalesque, friendly atmosphere that puts a smile on the face of every visitor. The festival centres on the mikoshi parade, the main attraction of which is seeing two giant members (one iron, one eye-catchingly pink) carried through the streets, while additional draws include (in)appropriately formed candy, vegetables and decorations, with a part of the proceeds donated to the important cause of HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment. Time Out Tokyo braved the rain to document this phallic party on April 6, 2014...

[Aktungbby]

Peregrine Falcon?

[Aktungbby]

nope! That'd be N. American. Think lambs and archepelagos...along Shearwaters hombre. :03:

[Jimbuna]

The Sea Eagle?

[Aktungbby]

nope; Darwin found them fascinating. This particular specimen was over-hunted due to its predatory nature but making a comeback.

[Jimbuna]

A type of eagle?

[d@rk51d3]

Darwin found them fascinating.


BOOBIES :D

No, wait. That’s just me. :oops:

[Aktungbby]

A type of eagle? More a type of falcon of the family Falconidae. It was hunted to extinction nearly for depredations against sheep but is now protected https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=815&pictureid=11913<from the flag of the territoty

[Moonlight]

Does this EU country still have a Monarchy.

[Jimbuna]

Ahem i could pretend that i have any idea, but honestly i have not :). It was just to encircle the time in which it was built.. is there any sound related to this?

A bird?

[Aktungbby]

well done! It's a bird.:yeah:

[Jimbuna]

South American?

[Aktungbby]

Sí. And I had to look that up too! It is endemic to a very small area.

[Catfish]

Hmm i would never guessed it is a bird, and then why South America lol
But ok..
By the sheer colours.. an Inca Jay?

[Aktungbby]

Not an Inca jay but you're in the the right neighborhood. The Sapa, Atahualpa, might have worn a plume or two in his bonnet....if he could catch one...

[Jimbuna]

GOLDEN-COLLARED HONEYCREEPER?

[Eichhörnchen]

Tweety Pie?

[Catfish]

^ :timeout: :har:

Marvelous Spatuletail loddigesia mirabilis?

[Aktungbby]

Gadzooks! CATFISH got it! I saw it in the Saturday WSJ and thought "this'll occupy their minds...errrr bird brains". over to Catfish. It only grows in Peru...in them-thar hills. https://i.pinimg.com/564x/c3/30/3e/c3303e38a15b99183520a62356119e71.jpg

[Catfish]

Ouch this was mean, i thought it were some spots (plumes?) on a beige-coloured bird with some.. blue ?

Looking for rare/endemic birds of Peru here were only two that had that colour at all, but of course not beige.. this did not belong to the bird, but the background. :doh:

[Catfish]

Ok after working my bird-brained head i found something –
what is that, and hint: not a bird :O:

https://i.imgur.com/FShC6K2l.jpg

[Aktungbby]

is it a steam engine?

[Catfish]

^ strictly-spoken: no. Since it is the boiler, not the machine :03:
But i guess saying "yes" to your question is in order. There's a machine attached but not visible on the photo.
Question is what is the name of the thing that the steam engine is mounted on or in.

[Aktungbby]

is it in africa?

[Jimbuna]

19th Century?

[Catfish]

To both above:
Yes in Africa, and
yes photo most probably from 19th century,
though it was used into the 20ieth century.

[Jimbuna]

IBIS?

[Aktungbby]

gold ore crush/stamp machine?

[Catfish]

IBIS?
No, but.. what do you mean with this? What is that? :hmmm:
Not a bird anyway :03:
@Aktungbby: Not a gold ore crush/stamp machine.

[Jimbuna]

No, but.. what do you mean with this? What is that? :hmmm:
Not a bird anyway :03:
@Aktungbby: Not a gold ore crush/stamp machine.

The Ibis was a paddle-propelled steamship built in 1886 at Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering, Govan, Scotland for the British Government's Nile Expedition.

[Catfish]

^ thanks, never heard of this :up:

As a "reward": it is a paddle steamer.

[Aktungbby]

built by Alley &MacLellan S-30 'zulu' sternwheeler? Perhaps the Begam?

[Catfish]

No.

edit: though looks a bit like it,

and it is a stern wheeler. Most were, since they were less prone to damage the paddle wheel when running over snags in inland waters etc.

Zambezi River?

[Catfish]

No, not as far as i know. Most unlikely.

[Jimbuna]

Inland lake?

[Catfish]

Inland, not a lake afaik.

built in Britain and assembled in Africa?

[Jimbuna]

German?

[Catfish]

built in Britain and assembled in Africa?
No, as Jim asked: german.

[Aktungbby]

in Namibia?

[Jimbuna]

On the Nile?

[Aktungbby]

is it a Raddanpfer, Schhaufelraddampfer, Seitenraddampfer or a plain ol' Heckraddampfer?:k_confused:

[Catfish]

in Namibia?
Not in Namibia.
" [...] is it Raddampfer, Schaufelraddampfer, Seitenraddampfer or a plain ol' Heckraddampfer?"
Those were two questions, or even more :O:
It is a Raddampfer, which is the same as a Schaufelraddampfer, but not a Seitenraddampfer – it is a Heckraddampfer.
Or, as mentioned before (https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2742935&postcount=16733): a stern wheeler.

@Jim: Not on the Nile.

[Jimbuna]

Used for military purposes?

[Catfish]

Used for military purposes?
Not planned as such, but then yes.
She was basically a flat-going freighter, laid buoys and was used as a troop transport in WW1. Its whereabouts are unknown.

@Jim: Not on the Nile.Well the second
question was intended humorously: can you imagine some enigma typist having to put "Schaufelraddampfer" into code...no wonder Germany lost two World Wars!:O: Was this Raddampfer used on the Zambezi river?...now searching 'Heckraddampfers uff der Zambezi!?"

:hmmm: well.....if it's not the Zambezi....and it wasn't a lake 'afaik':(Tanganika?)than it must be some other important East Arican river Von Vorbeck had to travel on to keep the British occupied....:timeout:

[Catfish]

Well the second

Very well, it is good german attitude to pretend to take all seriously, while having fun seeing the other awkwardly run aground, so to speak (and fitting here).
[...].now searching 'Heckraddampfers uff der Zambezi!?"
Practicing the above, historically there was no Enigma in WW1, and likewise it was not the Zambezi's waters this nautical ruin messed up :03:
