Not amphibious - airborne. Note the part about using scads of furious cupids to do the conquering...

I suppose that just naming the ship is to easy. So I also ask for when the picture was taken. [image]local://upfiles/29130/7A3FD758105A454EB8FBC41F2B6315B5.jpg[/image]

I know the ship (Dutch minesweeper HNLMS Abraham Crijnssen) but sure as hell I would not remember the date. So I thought it would be OK to look it up on the all-mighty internet. Wikipedia says it is April 8, 1942

[:)] I was going to allow any date during the journey to Australia since, I suspect, that the ship looked pretty much the same every day.

Different ship, different place, same idea. [image]local://upfiles/29130/61E4B09E92B246A88F3BB40EFB11CBAD.jpg[/image]

Swedish cruiser HSwMS Göta Lejon edit for spelling

Orm -> RE: What ship is this? (6/4/2020 7:30:49 AM)
Yes. Or HMS Göta Lejon, as is the Swedish name. [:)] [;)] And here is a less known picture of her. (Although I think I have posted both a few years back.) [image]local://upfiles/29130/98C04253930B4D969A8193221ACE9D19.jpg[/image]

I have seen the photo on a World of Warships forum and remembered it as a Swedish ship, but I admit I had to google the name. I permit myself a little hijack for another cammo ship: [image]local://upfiles/1313/8BC1AAAED27443338C5A5D0B8360FE2A.jpg[/image]

Mackay camo means around WWI and most certainly American. Not sure why you suppose it to be American. The two side-by-side guns forward look like a European WWI design, and the parkas suggest a country that knows how to dress for the cold. I think a Norwegian coast defence patrol vessel. Did they get that camo pattern from the back of a deck of playing cards?

LargeSlowTarget -> RE: What ship is this? (6/4/2020 4:58:56 PM)
Hint: The photo dates back to WWI but she saw service in WWII as well.

translates to Sometimes I get parts of Europe

Ian R -> RE: What ship is this? (6/5/2020 7:17:29 AM)
The foremast is in front of the bridge. It is a yacht, the USS Isabel.

Ian R -> RE: What ship is this? (6/5/2020 7:45:33 AM)
Here is anther mystery ship with adjacent turrets forward - should be an easy one: [image]https://i.imgur.com/M3TgvYo.png[/image]

Ian R -> RE: What ship is this? (6/5/2020 3:54:55 PM)
Yep, before it was rebuilt and lost a turret.

fcooke -> RE: What ship is this? (6/5/2020 6:44:27 PM)
I cannot explain why, but the Isabel is one of my favorite ships in WITPAE. I've only lost her once.

This is the translation I used, Back in the day it would have been a Giant Pub Crawl, now a circuit of historical sites of others who conquered, or tried to conquer Europe.
