So which vessel?

A vessel not intended as a warship but converted to such would be a British Auxiliary or ''armed merchant cruiser''. Very few survived WW I or were scrapped prior to WW II...

SS Orbita; used in WWI as AMC & WW II as troop ship?

skidman · 01-20-21, 04:39 PM

Yep, could be an armored merchant, or an aircraft carrier like the TSS Manxman:

She was built as a steamer for passengers in 1904

Then served as an aircraft carrier in WW1 as HMS Manxman

And finally a troop transport in WW2 as HMS Caduceus.

Manxman? I almost can feel the vibrations of a Tourist Trophy bike between my legs.

Well I'm always in favor of any thing that could launch a SopwithBBY

but Jimbuna, famous for his astute hint accuracy, would surely have responded to the era's triple-expansion steam power condeser clues with "only temporarily" .

In the case of TSS Manxman inasmuch as she was coverted to an oil burner shortly after WWI to stay operational during a coal strike that shackled the steamships of the shipping line.

Neither unfortunately.

MASSIVE Clue: Usually sailed without an escort.

^ so a fast liner/troop transport, or a "Q-ship" ?

"Q-ship"?

u crank · 01-21-21, 08:37 AM

I honestly thought once the condenser was guessed the vessel would be quickly identified.

MASSIVE CLUE

This vessel saw service during both world wars in a variety of roles, some of which have been mentioned above and she does feature in GWX
