New question will come in ~8 hours.

No that is not correct.

The Bennion was DD.

The ship that sunk 5 Japanese subs in 8 days was a DE.

Ok one more hint and this will probably give it away.

While the ship is named after an Ensign who died on the Oklahoma during the attack on Pearl Harbor, it also is the name of a country.

Sir Big Jugs 07-11-06 01:24 PM

AHH!

Of course!

Tough question!:cool:

In the winter/spring of 1942, the crew of the Finnish submarine fleet received training in using a new underwater respirator. What was the name of this specific underwater respirator brand?

(If it is too hard I'll have another one ready)

Too hard? I've got another one waiting, an "identify it" one. . .:cool:

Sir Big Jugs 07-12-06 09:29 AM

Ok this is a LOT easier.

Identify:

a) The type of this gun (deck gun, aa gun, submachine gun, etcetera)
b) The name of the model of the gun
c) It's caliber
d) What U-boat it is mounted on
and
e) How many rounds are there in one magazine for this gun.

The person with the most right answers gets to go next.

It is a unit award given by the Navy as a result of that unit engaging or being engaged by the enemy. Seeing action basically.

I don't have the full definition handy.
