hi,

Sorry to be so late, again ...

a simple question: what happened ?

greetings, the pb

[mescal]

HMS Punjabi didn't respect the rule "a 35,000t warship has the right of way" ...

[Polar bear]

bonjour, Olivier,

you are right , that´s something the CURACOA´s captain didn´t recognize, either, until it was too late ...

it´s your turn again, and, by the way (may I remind you ?), in the "Allied and Neutral States" thread, as well ...

greetings, the pb

[mescal]

Thank you pb.
(and I posted a new question in the Neutral States Quizz - sorry for forgetting)

Next (easy) question :

Hello!
One of Brazilian battleships - Sao Paulo or Minas Gerais?

Best regards, Aleks

[mescal]

You're correct Aleks,
it's Minas Gerais.

Up to you ...

[AVV]

Thanks!
Another not-that-difficult question. Please name the submarines.

Best regards, Aleks

[Polar bear]

hi,

IMO, ... Turkish submarines, inside Birinci Inönü and Ikinci Inönü (German WWI UB II), outside Murat Reis (British)

greetings, the pb

[AVV]

Hmm... The question turned out to be more difficult than I've expected...
No, not Turkish.
Mind two-funnel ship in the background - it belonged to the same country as the submarines.

Best regards, Aleks

Well, given the fact that there weren't all that many nations in ww2 with a modern submarine fleet and a very obsolete looking cruiser, my guess is that the ship in the distance is the Swedish mine cruiser HMS Clas Fleming.

So my money is on Sweden, but I don't know the submarines..

[Polar bear]

hi,

OK, next try ... Yugoslawian submarines OSVETNIK and SMELI (inside), HRABRI or NEBOJSA outside,

in the background DALMACIJA ex German WW I NIOBE

greetings, the pb

[Dreeze]

You're probably right, pb.. I disregarded the DALMACIJA because of a missing crows nest and wrong bow shape, but I probably used an old picture of her.

According to this link the outside sub is the NEBOSJA and not HRABRI:

Does anybody care to explain to me why those subs had masts?

[AVV]

Yugoslawian submarines OSVETNIK and SMELI (inside), HRABRI or NEBOJSA outside,

Yes, that's right.

According to this link the outside sub is the NEBOSJA and not HRABRI:

The links:
http://ww2photo.se/navy/yug/sub/smeli-hrabri.htm
http://www.navypedia.org/ships/italy/it_ss_n1.htm
name these ships as Osvetnik, Smeli and Hrabri. I'm not an expert in Royal Yugolslav Navy, so I cannot judge who is right.
In any case, next question goes to Polar bear!

Best regards, Aleks

hi,

next question without a picture ...

Besides the well-known US four-stacker DDs (and their derivatives), there were 3 other warship classes with 4 funnels in WW II.

Hint: They belonged to navies of 3 different Allied nations ... they were ?

There´s even another single ship with 4 stacks belonging to a 4th (also Allied) nation ... but I don´t ask for it ...

greetings, the pb
