Warspite1 I will go for Landing Craft Assault (LCA) - but not confident. It is similar Landing Craft Assault (LCA) but the difference is in the details. The Landing Craft Assault (LCA) was controlled from behind the shield the starboard side. Here is a good view from a paper model of a LCA This landing craft has two .30-caliber machine guns and was controlled from behind the port machine gun position. Just a FYI: The writing on the landing craft is PA1814. Last clue: "P" stands for personnel. Answer: Landing Craft Personnel (Ramped) or LCP(R)

Mmmmmmm.... Can I ask for a bit of clarification; do you mean she was successful in a ship vs ship engagement, i.e. one ship on each side?

I think that these three clues might be enough to guess the ship I am looking for. It can't be many that qualify for all three clues. Edit: Hint. Not all ship counters available for WIF were included in WIFFE. Some of them were included in one of the expansions. In MWIF some ships are included as an option.

But you are correct in how you think. [:)] I am not sure that I would call Kormoran victorious since she was scuttled as a result of the battle with HMAS Sydney.

You knowledge is great. Therefore I am a bit amazed that you missed that the ship I was looking for was HMNZS Leander. Did you miss clue 4? The ship versus ship battle that HMNZS Leander won was against the Italian auxiliary cruiser Ramb I. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMNZS_Leander http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_ship_Ramb_I
