Dang..You beat me to it ..I was just going to change my answer..Both ships, Richelieu & Jean Bart are the same class....

Thats right, they where 2 ships of a planned four ship class, 49,000 displacement and eight 15 inch guns in quadruple configurations. the Jean Bart was damaged in operations in North Africa and later rebuilt after the war. the Richelieu and Jean Bart both served France well into the 1960s to represent the interests of France.

But there aren't many noticeable differences between the 2 ships and its really a lucky dip......

Congrats to you both!

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

Im all eager to answer them myself, not just providing....

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

Just to keep things rolling...
Identify this ugly thingy:

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

same body but no tandem bubble canopies. A wild guess here and:

Hind -A?

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

Its a Super Hind upgrade done by south Africa. This is the first time I've seen an actual picture of it and not just a three view drawing!

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

you're right, it is ATE's Super Hind.

However, according to sources, the project never took off.

So when did South Africa get hinds for upgrade anyway? And from whom?

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

Made its maiden appearance at AAD 2006, I just found the pic a couple of days ago.
MadMax can post the next question.

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

Not the Super Hind exactly but South Africa upgraded Algeria's Hinds to a similar level except they retain the original double canopy.

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

So new quizz then? (I changed the rules, so now the one who answers correctly can give the next quizz)

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

prhph.....guess I need to do it myself

Ok, the ship class is rather self-evidence, so answer would require to be the name of the individual ship in the picture...
