warspite1 -> Who is she? ETO (4/21/2015 1:51:32 PM)
Okay folks - how about this one? She was not the only ship in her class so how can you tell for certain which one she is? Name the ship and what makes her unique - and thus identifiable from this picture? [image]local://upfiles/28156/36F99264BBCF44E0992904331200DC79.jpg[/image]

AW1Steve -> RE: Who is she? ETO (4/21/2015 2:18:42 PM)
She's Italian.

warspite1 -> RE: Who is she? ETO (4/21/2015 2:30:06 PM)
Are we talking about the wallet or the ship now?

Seeadler -> RE: Who is she? ETO (4/21/2015 3:03:42 PM)
Italian heavy cruiser Pola of 1930-1931 program. Intended as flagship, some differed from remaining by increased fore superstructure pooled with the fore funnel.

Rising-Sun -> RE: Who is she? ETO (4/21/2015 4:50:01 PM)
Well it look like Italian Cruiser, my guess it the Gorizia.

My guess is Gorizia.Ciao JWE warspite1 Not Gorizia - Seeadler was correct. It is the Pola. There is something about her design that makes her different from her sisters - and this difference is apparent in the picture posted. However, Seeadler suggested another difference so I am looking into whether that is unique to Pola or not.

The one Seeadler referred to - enlarged superstructure - and the one I was alluding to - no curved indentation in the hull sides at the aft end of the forecastle. Well done Seeadler [&o]

JeffroK -> RE: Who is she? ETO (4/22/2015 6:57:02 AM)
She was sunk, nearly, by Warspite??

Seeadler -> RE: Who is she? ETO (4/22/2015 3:25:28 PM)
I have built a plastic model of the Pola many years ago. So I remember her quite well. [;)]

Orm -> RE: Who is she? (4/23/2015 6:54:57 PM)
Can you name the ship? [image]local://upfiles/29130/0BEAF552FF954BBCBF4037A977AD3167.jpg[/image] Would it help if I tell you that this Italian Lady was born in Britain and served in the US navy during the war?

AW1Steve -> RE: Who is she? (4/23/2015 7:30:08 PM)
I think I'll name her "Bob". [:D]

quote: ORIGINAL: AW1Steve I think I'll name her "Bob". [:D] That is not nice considering she served both in the European theatre and the Pacific theatre.

[:D] Many years ago , a much beloved denizen of the original "The Thread!!!!" created a thread that he called "Bob", so that he and the other players in his "2x2" PBEM could inform each other of who's turn it was. This became the source of much amusement over the years. "I think I'll name this thread BOB" has often used as the punchline when some one says "name this fred". This fellow , known as "the penguin" , or his log-in name of Fabertong , started a procedure to see who can get his post as the top one of "THE THREAD"'s next page. (AKA as a UNP). His particular technique was to do a chain of posts, one right after the next , usually with one word, spelling a message. In the USA this is called "A Burma shave sign" after a 1940's road way advertising trick of one sign after the other , each containing part of the message , ending with "use Burma shave!".

But during the first years I was only at the MWIF forum, then I joined the MWIF Beta Test forum and eventually I joined the general forum. Here I only went when I wanted to know something specific about the PTO. Or, as entertainment, read a AAR thread. The game I have own for a while but I have yet to begin a game in earnest since I fear that all my available time will be consumed by it.

I suspect that I will eventually join the dark side. I might even have an opponent available for a game. [X(]
