I've got what I hope to be a challenge for you this time.


Right. I want the name of the above battleship.
I reckon Felix'll get it. But I hope he'll have to do a bit of research first.

You may want to try bending your mind round the problem a little more.

Man, that's a stumperoo, all right. I thought I was on the scent with your little clue, but no luck so far. Having a lot of fun, though, reading about ironclad warships! Amazing how many battles were fought at river BENDS... it's not the "Benton", is it?

I'm afraid that you've missed the point in my clue. And no, it isn't the Benton.

Looks like that battleship the French built two years ago... "state-of-the-art".

Nor is it the Charles de Gaulle. Beefhole, even the french have advanced beyond that nowadays.

Personally i'm waiting for Felix's response. But i'm sure research is going on...

Wait, I've got it! It's not really a battleship at all- it's a floating field kitchen/laundry.

I'm waiting for my response, too. It doesn't seem to be an American monitor, but I can't discard that possibility, either, and the twin side by side stacks are throwing me off.
It's definitely not a Sopwith Stranraer.

Very.

I may have to give a real clue soon...

I'm thinking it's not even "American" ...
