This one is in game. What ship is it? [image]local://upfiles/37283/538D853018DF4B6385B2CFC91A97E634.jpg[/image]

No real idea, I’ve never done any ship silhouette training! And I can’t be arsed googling to check any... My guess as it looks corvette sort of size is a Bathurst class, so HMAS Wollongong?

Ian R -> RE: Mystery ship (8/2/2019 12:22:33 PM)
Hull form looks like a French sloop, but the unshielded gun mounts and single stack are wrong for the Bougainville class. Beyond that, I had to look it up in Conways, so no comment.

Gridley380 -> RE: Mystery ship (8/2/2019 1:29:53 PM)
My first thought was something Commonwealth from the general appearance, but I sure couldn't say the class without flipping through a book or two.

Panther Bait -> RE: Mystery ship (8/2/2019 1:59:06 PM)
I'd say it appears to be a minesweeper based on the davits/cranes on the stern. Fits with the overall apparent size and armament as well. I do agree that it appear to be Commonwealth from the general styling.

AW1Steve -> RE: Mystery ship (8/2/2019 3:38:28 PM)
It looks like an Indian Navy sloop. Maybe the Hindustan class? Of course that a total WAG that I pulled out of my nether regions. "fraid I don't have time to research it right now. [:(][&:][:)]

Looks like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halcyon-class_minesweeper My bet is on HMS Bramble because of mast layout https://www.naval-history.net/Photo22MSHebe2NPMarkTeadham.JPG

Dili -> RE: Mystery ship (8/2/2019 5:12:08 PM)
Some Thai sloop?

RangerJoe -> RE: Mystery ship (8/2/2019 6:23:21 PM)
As far as I know, the Thai ships are not in the game.

Dili -> RE: Mystery ship (8/2/2019 8:07:48 PM)
yep, i think they are not on the game so not a valid hypothesis

US87891 -> RE: Mystery ship (8/2/2019 8:53:19 PM)
It's a RAN Grimsby. Maybe Yarra (or Swan, Parramatta or Warrego)

I've always thought it strange Yarra has torpedoes. Why on a 16knot escort? I can't find anything in my limited search that shows torpeodoes on Yarra either. Usually she is list with only 3 x 4inch DP guns and some 20mm AA.

geofflambert -> RE: Mystery ship (8/3/2019 5:11:40 PM)
According to Conway's she did not have torpedo capability.

obvert -> RE: Mystery ship (8/3/2019 8:18:24 PM)
In my stock game she is as yours, a Swan Class with no torpedoes. [image]local://upfiles/37283/4A507BB6C31B46938164000F80105FDC.jpg[/image]

geofflambert -> RE: Mystery ship (8/3/2019 9:56:54 PM)
Maybe someone with a ship avatar PO'd JWE. I'd go into the editor and fix that.

Ian R -> RE: Mystery ship (8/4/2019 3:35:05 AM)
The RAN website says no torpedos at launch in 1935, and does not mention any ever being added. Edit - I can't get the image to display. Look here: http://www.navy.gov.au/hmas-yarra-ii On the other hand, the WW1 'River' Class Torpedo Boat Destroyer Yarra(i) had three 18" tubes.
