A bit of confusion and more than a bit of indiscipline.

But 6.41 here :D Just up from the bed, checking the forum before breakfast.

Another ship:

Hint #1: not a converted merchant, but a warship built as such from the keel up.

Hmm....As I don't know warships very good (except some battleships and submarines) - can I suppose that this is a minelayer?

Which one? :D
I was thinking at first about convoy sloops - something like British "Aubretia" or "Anchusa"-class, but they had side guns, not nose/stern guns; also their side hull shape was differ :roll:

But I believe now that this is Chilean submarine depot ship "Araucano" (1929):

Noted. People, please try to stay on topic. A minor bit of chitchat is not absolutely forbidden, but there has been a tendency to wander far afield from the main purpose of this thread lately. Keep it as strictly a question-answer format at possible, and if you don't know who is entitled to ask a question, read the rules at the beginning of the thread. If you wish to have further discussion on some topic that is part of the Equipment of the Allies & Neutral States domain, feel free to start a new thread in the main body of this section.

Thanks, Davide!
Me seems that warships from minor navies are the excellent field of hard questions - especially small warships (patrol boats or mine-sweepers) :lol:
But I prefer tanks, sorry, guys :lol: And it is hard already to find good examples for this quiz :wink:

Please, name this one on modern photo.....
Interesting, how long this tank "survives" the quiz..................Let's say 30 min.
