Who / What / Where Game Part 2

[Jimbuna]

Only if somebody or something sinks her :)

[Aktungbby]

armed?

[Jimbuna]

Armed but not heavily.

[Aktungbby]

WWII?

[Jimbuna]

Present day and if my memory serves me correctly I seem to recall I once carried out function tests on a few of her generators.

[Aktungbby]

did they pass the test?:D

[Jimbuna]

As far as I recall yes but I almost lost a finger due to having my hand over one of the cylinder exhaust outlets :doh:

[Aktungbby]

Is this vessel a museum vessel?

[Jimbuna]

In service as I write.

CLUE: Not built in the UK

[Aktungbby]

built in 'Merika?

[Jimbuna]

Wrong side of the pond.

[Aktungbby]

a Baltic nation?

[Jimbuna]

Afraid not.

CLUE: I edited the colour photo because the true colour would probably have been a bit of a giveaway.

[Aktungbby]

Mediterranean nation?

[Jimbuna]

Nope :)

CLUE: Far from being the fastest boat in the navy.

[Aktungbby]

...so not a European-built vessel?

[Jimbuna]

Built by a European country.

[Aktungbby]

Holland?

[Jimbuna]

Not quite :)

[Jimbuna]

A further clue by way of a picture.

https://i.postimg.cc/wB8GkbQ2/uikuhyhj.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

[Aktungbby]

built in Belgium?

[Jimbuna]

Not Belgium :)

[Aktungbby]

Andorra?

[Jimbuna]

Shipbuilding in Andorra :haha:

[mapuc]

Scandinavia ?

Markus

[Aktungbby]

a Baltic nation?

Afraid not.

CLUE: I edited the colour photo because the true colour would probably have been a bit of a giveaway.

Scandinavia ?

Markus'Scandinavia' ie: Norway,(on the Skaggerack) Sweden, and Denmark are Baltic states...along witth Germany, Latvia, Estonia & Lithuainia, Finland and Poland:arrgh!: Is the hull color red?

[mapuc]

'Scandinavia' ie: Norway, Sweden, and Denmark are Baltic states...along witth Germany, Latvia, Estonia & Lithuainia, Finland and Poland:arrgh!:

Then I have learned it wrong in school-For me Scandinavia is Denmark, Norway and Sweden-While Baltic states consist of Latvia. Estonia and Lithuania

German belongs to Central Europe and Poland to Eastern Europe, same goes for Finland.

We do have a psychological bound with the Baltics.

Markus

[Aktungbby]

:hmmm:...you're right as to political definition. My use of it was simply to include all nations with ports on the Baltic waters which would include Norway on the Skagerrack; an outlet strait to the the North Sea.

[Jimbuna]

Scandinavia it is.

[Aktungbby]

built in norway?

[Jimbuna]

'Scandinavia' ie: Norway,(on the Skaggerack) Sweden, and Denmark are Baltic states...along witth Germany, Latvia, Estonia & Lithuainia, Finland and Poland:arrgh!: Is the hull color red?

Yes

Then I have learned it wrong in school-For me Scandinavia is Denmark, Norway and Sweden-While Baltic states consist of Latvia. Estonia and Lithuania

Markus

My understanding entirely.

built in norway?

Yes

[Aktungbby]

an rrs class ship?

[Jimbuna]

No but your warm.

[Aktungbby]

did it see combat in Falklands tiff ('armed')?

[Jimbuna]

Wasn't built till after the Falklands conflict.

[Aktungbby]

red hull? A-173

[Jimbuna]

That's the one....HMS Protector :up:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Protector_(A173)

You left out Russia :D

[Aktungbby]

You left out Russia :D Intentionally!:O: What's this? https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=815&pictureid=13447

[Eichhörnchen]

The end of some electrical cable?

[mapuc]

I think it has something to do with water

Markus

[Jimbuna]

Fremen Thumper?

[Aktungbby]

Fremen thumper it is! I just saw Dune II in the theatre. Over to you!:Kaleun_Cheers:

[Jimbuna]

What is this?

https://i.postimg.cc/Zn0vY4vb/jkilo.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

[Eichhörnchen]

Mosaic?

[Aktungbby]

a satellite?

[Jimbuna]

Mosaic?

Afraid not.

[Jimbuna]

a satellite?

Yes.

[Aktungbby]

'Merikan?

[Jimbuna]

Sure is.

[Aktungbby]

still aloft?

[Jimbuna]

Afraid not.

[Aktungbby]

20th century launch?

[Jimbuna]

Later

[Aktungbby]

did it burn up on re-entry?

[Jimbuna]

No re-entry but destruction via impact.

[Aktungbby]

Iridium 33? In collision with defunct Soviet satellite in 2009?

[Jimbuna]

No Russian involvement.

[Aktungbby]

hit by manmade object?

[Jimbuna]

Man couldn't create what this crashed into.

CLUE: it was also out of sight (radar) at this point.

[Aktungbby]

the sattelite, OSIRIS-REx, that procured the astroid, Bennu,
sample?https://space.skyrocket.de/img_sat/osiris-rex__2.jpg

[Catfish]

^ maybe but due to the red spots I guess it also could be NASA's DART satellite which collided with the Dimorphos asteroid :hmmm:

[Jimbuna]

Nope neither of those.

CLUE: The spacecraft's controllers intentionally crashed it.

[Aktungbby]

DART?https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTObS1-Ue7NIeWiK9_LWy1XFEQ7atn5cJ-8Xz5stftqww&s

[Jimbuna]

Not Dart.

[Catfish]

Not Dart.
Epoxi?

[Aktungbby]

The MESSENGER satellite that impacted Mercury in 2015?

[Jimbuna]

Epoxi?

The MESSENGER satellite that impacted Mercury in 2015?

Neither of those.

Clue: Launched after 2010

[Aktungbby]

did the satellite successfully complete its mission?

[Jimbuna]

Affirmative.

[Buddahaid]

I can't see the original image and just get a 503 error.

Showing now.

[Buddahaid]

ICON?

[Jimbuna]

Tis a satellite.

[Buddahaid]

GRAIL?

[Jimbuna]

Afraid not.

CLUE: one of its instruments was a dust detector.

[Buddahaid]

Just to be clear, the mission was launched after 2010?

[Jimbuna]

Affirmative.

[Aktungbby]

a G.O.E.S(Geostationary Oprational Environmental Sattellite). sattellite?

[Jimbuna]

Nope :haha:

[Aktungbby]

jeeze those have dust detectors...I'm really stymied on this one!:oops::06::ping:

[Jimbuna]

The mission it was part of lasted less than a year.

[Aktungbby]

was it launched from
Cape Canaveral?

[Jimbuna]

Not as far as I'm aware.

[Aktungbby]

was it a one-of-a-kind gizmo or part of a series?

[Buddahaid]

Military, or civilian?

[Jimbuna]

was it a one-of-a-kind gizmo or part of a series?

Just a one-off as far as I'm aware.

CLUE: It also carried a neutral mass spectrometer.

[Jimbuna]

Military, or civilian?

Hope I'm correct but I believed it to be civilian.

CLUE: It also carried an ultraviolet-visible spectrometer.

[Aktungbby]

launched after 2013?

[Jimbuna]

Nope, during.

[Aktungbby]

Did it land with wallop near the eastern rim of Sundman V crater after being launched from Wallop's Island VA?:O: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/48/LADEE_w_flare_-_cropped.jpg

[Jimbuna]

It did.

[Aktungbby]

LADEE satellite?]

[Jimbuna]

Winner winner chicken dinner.

Over to you :up:

[Aktungbby]

...finally! In the back of my head, I recalled a controlled crash on the moon's dark side but couldn't find it after viewing long lists of "all sattellites launched after 2010" etc. 2013 really narrowed it down. My voluminous research has concluded 2 things: I know more about satellites than I want to...and we've got a lot of junk up there...particularly when Chinese satellites smash each other creating dangerous particles traveling at high speed!??:timeout: I have a new puzzle shortly..

[Jimbuna]

Well that last one is the longest running yet and quite possibly also the most clues given.

[Aktungbby]

Someone else go ahead and post a new puzzle. My computer is giving me new troubles in transfering photos to use on :subsim:

[Jimbuna]

Okay then, put a name to this.

https://i.postimg.cc/MKH46mnT/1111.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

[Ostfriese]

Congratulations to @Aktung for solving that five months old riddle. We're getting slow, it seems.


@Jimbuna: warship for sure. Post-WWII?

[Aktungbby]

:hmmm:...looks more like 'during' WWII to me...Cruiser?

[Jimbuna]

Congratulations to @Aktung for solving that five months old riddle. We're getting slow, it seems.


@Jimbuna: warship for sure. Post-WWII?

A warship and saw service during WWII

[Jimbuna]

:hmmm:...looks more like 'during' WWII to me...Cruiser?

Not a cruiser but a real speeder.

[Aktungbby]

Destroyer?

[Ostfriese]

French Le Fantasque Class destroyer?

[Jimbuna]

Destroyer?

Yes

[Jimbuna]

French Le Fantasque Class destroyer?

I am impressed.

https://i.postimg.cc/q7fPSgbX/Le-fantasque-768x746.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

Over to you :salute:

[Ostfriese]

The word "speeder" actually was the biggest hint. I've always been amazed by these destroyers, of which one achieved an incredible 45 knots during speed trials.


Anyway, here's the next one. Should be easy.


https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=1443&pictureid=13563

^No.

[Jimbuna]

[Jimbuna]

202?

[Ostfriese]

202?


Almost through, but still not there :D

[Jimbuna]

The picture you posted is it of the bow?

[Ostfriese]

The picture you posted is it of the bow?


^No.

[Jimbuna]

Stern?

[Ostfriese]

Stern?
Not directly, but it definitely is from the aft end.

[Jimbuna]

205?

[Ostfriese]

205?


No, sorry.

[Jimbuna]

Well, the bar is now open downstairs so there should be enough info here for Vinnie or someone else to take it from here :)

[Ostfriese]

Well, the bar is now open downstairs so there should be enough info here for Vinnie or someone else to take it from here :)


There's basically just one type left you haven't mentioned :D

[Jimbuna]

207?

[Ostfriese]

207?


That one never existed.

[Jimbuna]

210?

[Ostfriese]

210?


Still not the one :)

[Jimbuna]

Well, I've mentioned every three digit number class beginning with '2' apart from the 240 and 241 classes.

[Ostfriese]

Well, I've mentioned every three digit number class beginning with '2' apart from the 240 and 241 classes.


I'm sorry to say it, but you missed exactly one.

[Jimbuna]

Final attempt 206A?

[Ostfriese]

Final attempt 206A?


https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=1443&pictureid=13564


That's the one. Over to you. :Kaleun_Salute:

[Jimbuna]

Had me wondering did that.

Name this beauty.

[Aktungbby]

British?

[Aktungbby]

....an older three digit number class beginning with '2'?:hmmm:

Well, the bar is now open downstairs so there should be enough info here for Vinnie or someone else to take it from here :)...and here l thought I was "opening the bar" for you!:O: and it's "Vinniebby" by the way!:arrgh!:

[Jimbuna]

Not British.

[Ostfriese]

US American?

[Buddahaid]

KMS Emden?

[Jimbuna]

US American?

Afraid not.

[Jimbuna]

KMS Emden?

No but on the German side.

[Buddahaid]

SMS Seydlitz? That stack arrangement looks WW1 era, but I can't find that image yet.

[Aktungbby]

at Jutland?

[Jimbuna]

SMS Seydlitz? That stack arrangement looks WW1 era, but I can't find that image yet.

Tis not a German vessel but definitely WWII era and beyond.

[Jimbuna]

at Jutland?

Built long after Jutland.

[Ostfriese]

Italian?

[Jimbuna]

Italian?

Si.

[Ostfriese]

Si.


Hmm, another speeder? Capitani Romani class cruiser, maybe?

[Jimbuna]

Hmm, another speeder? Capitani Romani class cruiser, maybe?

Oh, you're far too good :)

https://i.postimg.cc/T2sY8qBX/RM-Scipione-Africano.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

Over to you :salute:

[Ostfriese]

Hmm, as I'll be out of town the entire coming week and leaving in a few hours I'll hand it over to somebody else. Aktung, maybe?

[Jimbuna]

Yeah, not a problem.

[Buddahaid]

No but on the German side.

I interpreted that as German, not Axis. Oh well.

[Jimbuna]

I interpreted that as German, not Axis. Oh well.

Sorry about that :oops:

[Aktungbby]

Aktung, maybe?:hmmm:...on 5 medications daily from 2 night seizures a year ago, breathing thru a C-pap mask nightly, and having keeled over at the local deli in front of the cashier two weekends ago with the fire dept. responding: "Aktung maybe ":timeout: goes w/o saying.:O::shucks: I'll have a puzzle shortly. EDIT:shortly; What's this? https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=815&pictureid=13565

[Buddahaid]

I hope it's not your bathwater....

A marine habitat tank?

[Jimbuna]

Oarfish?

https://www.reddit.com/r/environment/comments/1eufts1/incredibly_rare_dead_sea_serpent_surfaces_in/

[Aktungbby]

A huge marine habitat tank:D off the CA coast! and it's Jimbuna's correct guess. Over to you...and hurry; we don't have much time left:Japanese folklore holds that the oarfish is an omen of an impending earthquake. Known in Japanese as the 'messenger from the sea god's palace,' there is no scientific evidence supporting a connection. Nothing marks the sign of impending doom like the appearance of the elusive oarfish, according to Japanese folklore.considering Saturday's magnitude 7!!! Russian quake and volcanic eruption on the Pacific rim??!!:oops::ping::ping::ping::ping: :salute: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2024/08/19/russia-shiveluch-volcano-eruption-earthquake/74855164007/

[Jimbuna]

Okay then, what is this?

https://i.postimg.cc/T3M4jTJL/dddddd.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

[mapuc]

Some type of battle tank

Markus

[Jimbuna]

It most surely is.

[Aktungbby]

WWII?

[Catfish]

^ I guess not, looks like reactive armour. Russian?

[Jimbuna]

WWII?

Post WWII

[Jimbuna]

^ I guess not, looks like reactive armour. Russian?

Not Russian but an ally.

[Catfish]

Chinese?

[Jimbuna]

Afraid not :)

As far as I'm aware this tank hasn't been exported.

[Aktungbby]

Not Russian but an ally.

Iranian?:D

[Jimbuna]

Yes

[Catfish]

Karrar?

[Aktungbby]

German?

[Catfish]

Not german :03:

[mapuc]

In the 20's ?

Markus

[Buddahaid]

Rat rod?

[Catfish]

@Markus: This construction is from 1907 or 8, not sure, I think the engine was fitted in 1914(?). Info is hard to come by.
The company was founded before WW1 and they sold their constructions until 1925.

@Buddahaid: Not a rat rod (though at that time one might have called it that), it is indeed quite original. Drives like hell though or so it is told :D

Hint: the company built very light cars, engines came from other companies.

Very indirect other hint:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zzyfcys1aLM

[Jimbuna]

Made in America?

[Aktungbby]

did Eddie Rickenbacker drive one?

[Catfish]

@Jim: not made in the US

did Eddie Rickenbacker drive one?
Not as far as I know.

[Jimbuna]

French?

[Catfish]

Not french, but european.
Though some of your countrymen might object :03:

Though some of your countrymen might object :03:

Sorry but that doesn't make me any the wiser :o

[Catfish]

Sorry but that doesn't make me any the wiser :o
I had the impression that some english people think they do not belong to Europe, or at least they prefer not to .. sorry for the fuss :oops:
So it is british-built.


1914 GN with prototype JAP airplane engine
https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/13933080091329277/

This is the one! :up: One headlight, as in the music video :D

https://i.postimg.cc/mgYmP1ry/Lyon-4795-JAP-GN.jpg (https://postimg.cc/SnK65sCn)

From the Wiki, company of "GN":
"H.R. Godfrey (1887-1968) and Archibald Frazer-Nash (1889-1965). Production ceased in 1923 but the company kept trading until 1925."

And the JAP company of J. A. Prestwich:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._A._Prestwich_Industries#Motorcar_engines

This was basically a cycle cart with a prototype 5.x litre aircraft engine shoehorned into the tiny frame:
