Thanks, PB. Here's a question which concerns both our countries, and one which lies in between:

What two ships captured a future aircraft carrier?


Rob

[AVV]

Hello!
These two ships were HMS Dunedin and HMCS Assiniboine. They captured German freighter Hannover which later became HMS Audacity escort carrier.

Best regards, Aleks

[Rob Stuart]

Correct!

Over to you, AVV.

Could it be the incident when the RCN Prince Robert captured the Weser outside Mexico. I believe it was September 1940.

Capture of the German supply ship Weser by the AMC HMCS Prince Robert off Mexico on 25th September 1940 ?

hi, Fred,

Minesweeper, Sweden, 1941 ? like this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSwMS_M_20

greetings, the pb

Not exactly the same as M20 has been modernized a lot, but close enough.

I am now the proud owner of M19. Picture below taken last summer. Still in its original shape.
