Thanks!
One more naval question. What ship and whom was this damage caused by?

Best regards, Aleks

hi,

a German NASSAU-class battleship ?

greetings, the pb

Hello!
No. Still, the damage was really caused by a German ship (although it was quite a special ship).

Best regards, Aleks

An.... airship?

[AVV]

Sorry, no. A real naval ship which had some special feature (not a technical one).

Best regards, Aleks

[Attrition]

A ram?

Damage caused by Vulkan or Cyclop? The damage doesnt look like standard collision damage, it looks to be more similar to shell damage. I cannot place the damaged ship, though it looks a familiar layout with the high mounted guns above the turret.

hi,

Russian battleship Evstafi (Евстафий) hit by German battlecruiser Goeben in the engagement at Cape Sarych ?

greetings, the pb

[AVV]

Yes, pb, she is.

For me Goeben here was a special ship, as officially she belonged to Ottoman Navy, although actually remained a German ship.
Over to you!

hi,

Two branches of the Royal Navy, AFAIK rather lowly regarded by the admiralty, were - probably (or IMO) - the most successful (in "tallies" resp. countable successes)

which ones am I thinking of ?

Submarine and Patrol services?

[Polar bear]

hi, Sheldrake,

submarine yes, patrol no, the second one was a child of the 20th century and worked in the 3rd dimension as well, like the subs.

greetings, the pb

The RNAS - with a fair amount of success for patrol airships.
