Ok so the idea is that with this quiz I will say only how many
someone has right and wrong, but I wont say which is right or wrong. first one to get all six is the winner. Subsimmers master mind 001. 1. What submarine shot down an airship ? [edit] there are apparently two correct answers to this question I will accept either. 2. what do the RN Aircraft carrier Ark Royal and the IJN light cruiser Yubari have in common? 3. What unusual tactic killed U-40,U-23 and C-33 ? 4. What submarine fired the first ever torpedo in anger? [edit succesfully] 5. What happened to submarines worldwide on May 17 1943? 6. What is the record for surviving on a raft after torpedoing by a submarine? Last edited by Mush Martin; 07-14-08 at 12:37 PM. |

1. U-134 v. K-74
2. Sunk by Submarines 3. That was the merchant towing a hidden submarine right? 4. The Hunley used her spar torpedo to destroy USS Housatonic, but that doesn't count, right? (Or maybe the Turtle but that's not even a torpedo...) I'm probably wrong, but is it U-15 in the early days of the First Battle of the Atlantic? 5. The MI6 and the Office of Strategic Services agree to share cipher intelligence? 6. Poon Lim, 133 days

U-23 was also sunk by a Decoy Trawler towing a Submarine
Also, How could it possibly be UB-1 when it was commissioned in 1915?

but I see that youve discovered two of your errors already. so assuming you notice shortly that you missed a correction I will score you four correct once you fix Q? # 3 |

a hint to all.............
bear in mind this researching Q's and A's thing is still new for me mostly so a little leeway is asked for. what I will say in the open is I still dont have what I want for ark royal and yubari but realize that they of course have three main commonalities. unlike question 1 however in this case I am still holding out for what they have in common with each other that they do not have in common with many other ships. |

Both were sunk with minimal casualties (1 for Ark Royal, 19 for Yubari)?
Both were knocked dead in the water by a single Torpedo hit?

2) Both were torpedoed and sunk by enemy submarines (and both sank a day after being torpedoed). Also, both served as flagships at one time or another. 3) All were sunk by a decoy trawler that was hauling an enemy submarine along behind it. 4) UB-1 in 1915. 5) Sonar used to measure depth was introduced to all u-boats in the Kriegsmarine. 6) 133 days, a feat done by 2nd Steward Poon Lim (born Hone Kong) after his ship, the S.S. Ben Lomond, was torpedoed and sunk by a u-boat 750 miles from the Azores on November 23, 1942, at 11:45 AM. He was picked up by a Brazilian fishing vessel on April 5, 1943. |
