ORIGINAL: warspite1 Okay - first two clues from a new Which ship am I? question: I appear as a counter in World In Flames, but a case could be made for having two (However this is not because I was transferred between two navies) I saw service during both World War I and World War II The Queens? Warspite1 Not the Queens - but I like your thinking. Next clue: I originally had three sisters, but by the start of WWII I only had two. Warspite1 Penultimate clue: During my lifetime I fought against: Russians British Finnish Germans Ok, with the penultimate clue I'm going to narrow it down to a Russian ship that the Reds siezed during the Russian civil war. It would have fought agains the White Russians (Czarists) and perhaps the British when they landed at Archangle (I know bad spelling) then in WWII of course the Finns and Germans. I am fairly ignorant of the details of the military side of the Russian civil was so without resorting to wiki or google I'm going to guess that its either the Marat or the Oktober Revolution. Flipping a coin it comes up Marat as my final answer. Warspite1 Top man Mr Burns!![:)] The final clue - was to have been - I continued to fight the enemy even after being sunk. With typical Russian resourcefulness, she was used as a stationary battery after she had been sunk in shallow water at Leningrad Marat had her name changed (again) in 1943, hence the reference to two counters.
