Round three, here we go again

10 Ships this time, some easy, some hard (wan you won’t be required to loose anymore hair ok mate- keep what you have left 😉 )

I hope you are enjoying this series of games, I find it a facinating way of learning about new ships and more importantly about those lesser ships that form a vital part of defence back home.

Ohhh Wan, you are a funny guy, I told you you don’t have to cut any more hair off mate! Keep going like this and you’ll end up like Sir Bob when he played the title role in the movie “The Wall” which came from Pink Floyd’s song (I still remember seeing that movie for the first time and getting the jitters when he shaved his nipples off- major ouch).

Ok guys here are the answers all up:

1. Laksamana Muhamad of Malaysia
2. LPC Johnson of Chilie
3. Al Hani of Lybia
4. Antiploiarhos Laskos of Greece
5. Sayura of Sri Lanka
6. Al Arrhamani of Morroco
7. Oslo of Norway
8. Pacific Class Patrol Boat of Papua New Guinea
9. Virrat of India
10. Nelson of Trinidad and Tobago

I expected the Virrat to have been one of the first, oh well. I think I’ll go back to just five pics, as Terran will concure, I had problems with bandwidth.

The last four pics:
Sayura
Pacific class boat
Virrat
Neslon

The smoke stack is not of a Riviere class though 😉

Four left and I expected one of them to have gone already, interesting!

Well done guys, and well done Jester for spotting the flag.

The Al Arrhamani

OK, its fair to point out its Al Arrhamani, as most spanish Descubiertas have lost their Bofors launchers recently, and do not look like that anymore.

On mistery ship #5 the smoke stack looks pretty similar to a Cdt, Riviere class, or some variation of it.

As for the fast patrol boat #2, the chilean flag behind the bridge is a giveaway. Its a israeli built boat in service with the chilean navy, that should pretty much narrow down the search.

sadly it’s not another Super Dvora

Oy! A Dvora is not another Super Dvora!

“Following on the experience gained in earlier generations of fast patrol craft designed and built by IAI-Ramta and including the Dabur, Shapirit, Dvora and Super Dvora Mk. I, classes of FPC, the Super Dvora Mk. II incorporates more than 25 years of experience gained in combat and peacetime operation in the Israel Navy and other navies around the globe.”

Super Dvora

Anyway, if it is not a Dvora (e.g. in Sri Lankan service), my next bet would be USN riverine craft PBR

Terran: mate you know it is 😉 It’s Oslo herself

AB: You eventually got it and it was backed up by Wan

Wan: mate I’m suprised, guess you were tired so that’s ok. You only got three right, sadly it’s not another Super Dvora and no it’s not an FS-1500 But that was a good guess (really impressed). However you did get the Greek Combattante III class boat, the Lybian Ship and the Laksamana Muhamad.

6 left people

Ships in order:
1. Oslo (Norway)
2. Al Hani (Lybia)
3. Laksamana Muhamad (Malaysia)
4. Antiploiarhos Laskos (Greece)
