HMS Nelson - Page 2

Ballpark figure, going a consistent 8 knots in a VIIB will give you a range of at least 12000km

Also, congratulations on your achievements during Weserubung, sinking both HMS Nelson and a Fleet Carrier you may have singlehandedly decided that campaign....

Good job, PapaG! That's good for a few drinks at the base

Yeah, In reality loosing one of three fully loaded troop ships just prior to jump off could change things a bit. Might even be border line for cancellation of the operation. As far as loosing the carrier. I don't know how useful those old bi-wing aircraft on the carrier were in a troop landing. They were very slow & easy targets for the modern weapons which the Germans had.

I don't know how many troops on a WWII troopship but I know that damn troop ship I was on once had about another 5000 guys on it with me... I didn't think that there were that many, but that's what the navy guys said it carried...

In the command center that yellow slider on the fuel gage shows that I still have a bit over half tanks...So I should be good...We will see ...lol...

I found the HMS Nelson leaving the area around Narvik with a large destroyer screen. But on the way I found a few other things.

Such as a type II.

And a German task force heading for Narvik.

And the HMS Nelson. The photo was taken from one of the escort ships shortly after the torpedos hit.

The Nelson nearing her end.

Finally the last photo of the HMS Nelson shot from a lifeboat by Chief Petty Officer Stanley Reid.
