Nice pic...

Hmmm...Nagato class BB in foreground; Atago class CA at left; Yamato Class BB in background; CV looks weird...island looks off but Shokaku class.

The BB in foreground andthe CV I screwed up. Problem with artwork is that it is not always accurate. BB in foreground Ise/Hyuga? Pagoda looks wrong.

"BB in foreground Ise/Hyuga"

You now have three right. The view of the CV is from the left side...

Bow wave indicates it is starboard view. Island is different shade...possibly pagoda from BB behind? CV might be Zuiho, Chitose/Chiyoda...no island.

Ok, here's the answer:

from left to right:

Takao Class CA, Yamato Class BB, ISE Class BB, Shokaku Class CV (the bow wave is misleading).

Since you got 3 out of 4, the prize will be the link site:

You are right!

My original source did not list the Atago as a Takao class CA.

Here's the full list:

1. Heavy cruisers Takao class: Takao, Atago, Chokai, Maya
2. Battleships Yamato class: Yamato, Musashi
3. Battleships Ise class: Ise, Hyuga
4. Aircraft carriers Shokaku class: Shokaku Zuikaku

Unfortunately I already ate the doughnut, but you have my esteem

Glad you enjoy the website, the model of the Yamato at full speed at see is awesome..

I was on the original dev team for SH2...then it went tits up. Part of Wolfpack League but SH2 and DC too buggy to play. Interest fell off as UV caught my eye and voila...still here. Neal Stevens has done an amazing job getting SH2/DC sorted. What a fan!

SH2 and DC are fun games, but they have way too many bugs to play constantly. I still find myself loading up SHCE when I want a good, low bug sim.

I heard mixed things about Silent Hunter II......IIRC alot had to do with their attempt to make the game more "balanced" so that the Uboat commander might actually survive.

I have the orig Silent Hunter and it's expansions....but never was able to get into it like i did Silent Service II for a time. Steel Panthers took too much of my limited gaming time .
