Gollevainen's quizz of the week (older)

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

Snaky got it rigth (like I anticipated )
Its the project 1190 or Khasan class river monitor with 130mm guns...I thougth that the low free-board and high superstructure would have revieled its riverinne purpose....

But its Snake's turn now...

This may be quite easy for Gollevainen:coffee:

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

well it isent
despite numerous sites of submarines and I feel that I have browsed trough all submarine classes build before 1945, I didnt came more closer than its a one of the UK Swordfish or Shark class from the 30's...they seems to be sole boat with similar raked bow....

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

I give up, My best effort is French Sirene class...

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

snake65 I think you should put the next question.

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

After hours of internet research, I've concluded that it's a submarine

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

Actually, Golly is quite close with his Sirene class. This is Latvian Navy submarine "Spidola", built in 1928 in France to a modified French design.
Anyway, here is the next.

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

This is Venice and in front of the picture is a gondola
I don’t know what is behind him, but I am looking for.

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

I am only guessing, it is probably a Roma class steam battleship, why not even the Venice?

Re: Gollevainen's quizz of the week

Hmm...I suspected it to be Latvian or Liethuanian, but as my primary sources didnt feature those nations subs (and By memory I knew it wasent a Lembit) I kinda forgotten the opportunity and smashed against the british and French...

But the next ship is Imperial russian gun boat Khivinets (laterly Kraznaya Zvedza)
