31/35

Though some of questions could be answered just by looking at the answers and eliminating choices that didn't make a lick of sense.

33/35

Interesting exercise. I scored 33 but take issue with one of the questions; I shan't enlarge upon this for now, as it might spoil it for others.

33/35

One of the questions was either wrong itself or a trick question. The other I honestly didn't know, and for honesty's sake didn't look up.

On the other hand there were two others I didn't know, but got them both with lucky guesses.

29/35

Some of the things which where asked about I'd never even heard of and I disagree with what a certian question considered as class of warship which is normally reserved for things like battleships.

34/35.

Apart from that I knew nearly all the answers by just reading the question the other choices where....really giving it away most of the time.

I hardly believe that. As some said here like the squirrely one who likes cheese and Steve, one was wrong and some of the others questions may have been misleading or trick questions. The British ships lost completely threw me.

Thanks for posting the questions though. It made me think which always gives me a headache.
