Guess the battleship!

[Woodlouse2002]

Right, as guessing the actual identity would be rather tricky (impossible even) I want to hear the class of warship that this belongs to. As I don't actually know for certain myself, the most convincing answer shall win.

looks like a german battleship i saw in one of my old school history textbooks, WW2 era?

Never trust school books. They tend to sell you all kinds of rubbish...

Okay,let's sort out what it is not:

- Dreadnought
- Corvette
- Destroyer

light cruiser?

[Hagar]

What do you think Woody?



PS. I have no great knowledge of ships. Woody gave me a clue before posting this.

[Felix/FFDS]

My uneducated guess would be either the "Lord Nelson" or "Agammemnon"

Well, Hagar and Felix seem to have put forward a remarkably similar guess as to what it is. And it has me convinced.


I shall have to find another battleship picture...

Well, being what the Navy may call a "Crab", I'd guess tht this is a ship. A ship which is not capable of taking the RAF's superb Harrier, or the Royal Navy's (for sale) Sea Harriers...

Only your excellent choice of image for your Avatar saves you from a keel-hauling!

Oops - forgot I had a FAA aircraft as my avatar - shame - an RAF version would have been nice - but then again it probably would have been green and grey too
