Gollevainen's quizz of the week (older)

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

I wouldn't said it is British, more probably then a Japanese ship (which then probably could support British features due to the Japanese fleets many British deisgned & built ships).

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

a midpoint annouchment: Due the ongoing martial law, the quizz will be in here so that the quizz, the brightest ligth and beacon of the whole forum can go on as it has gone trough all other difficoult time and sorrow...:nana:

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

Looks like a Japanese Heavy Cruiser Furutaka.

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

furukata looks like it only have one gun... weird.. maybe just my eyes. and the superstructure looks different.

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

damn it!!! ive looked up every japanese cruiiser from that time period and none match!!! hints?

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

is the move only temporary cause it makes more sense in the world defence section than off topic

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

well The transition of quizz is only due the fact that the Offtopic is closed. Where it eventually end up I dont know, but we will see it. In any case the quizz must go on and it shall never end!!

But to quizz, cruisers aren't obviously your strongest point... This is a Soviet Chapayev class cruiser (i'm sorry but i hove no idia wich ship of the class ) Laid down just prior the WWII but completed only after the war. It was a predessor for the Famous Sverdlov class and shares almoust identical armament wich should have been the most stricing reconiton feature...look close and you noticed the 100mm dual AA guns wich were scaled down version of the bigger 130mm dual DP guns fitted also in Ludas...
