How about the Kasuga Maru, xAP. Soon to become CVE Taiyō?

Lecivius -> RE: What ship ...? (1/23/2018 2:45:24 PM)
OK, methinks this may not be originally be allied, or Japanese. I found some Canadian ships similar, but not with this stack. Further investigation finds it to be either the Bremen or the Europa. And I will go with Europa, as she was seized by the allies.

Interesting posts. Where on earth do you find this info. [&o]

GetAssista -> RE: What ship ...? (1/23/2018 4:30:03 PM)
Damn, this one was not easy. Had some big guns namesake too )

cardas -> RE: What ship ...? (1/23/2018 5:45:09 PM)
Building on what Lecivius said I'm guessing a German Norddeutscher Lloyd ship. Either the liner Scharnhorst, Gneisenau or Potsdam? Don't know if there is any way of telling the two apart. Edit: Oh, right, you talked about its function in the Pacific War so that'd be Scharnhorst, later the Japanese carrier Shin'yō.

[&o] Nice work gents. It is the SS Scharnhorst launched in 1937 and travelling Asian routes from Germany. She was in Kure, Japan when war broke out in 1939 and later, in 42, was bought and began conversion to the CVE Shin'yo. [image]local://upfiles/37283/6D7E942343394AE3B28AC52743EF2142.jpg[/image]

At the end of the war in Europe, my dad was an officer with the 29th I.D. and part of the "occupation army" stationed in Bremerhaven. As one of the "victors", he acquired some silverware from the "NDL" line, (as mentioned above), with the pieces marked as such. For years as a child, my brother and I held "wienies" on those forks and heated them over the kitchen stove, never realizing the cost silver would become one day...nor the risks dad went thru to get to Bremerhaven from Omaha Beach.
