I’ve shot my bolt. I’ll need more clues before I can venture any guesses.

I was reading not long ago that they have found it after it had been lost by the Soviets over 60 years ago

The Tripartite Naval Commission at the end of the European war rated GZ in Category C–requiring more than six months repair. All ships in Category C were to be disposed of by 1947. The Soviets were allowed to have GZ with the promise that she’d be so disposed of. After raising her, the Soviets towed her eastward and had a good look at what she had to show (which really wasn’t much). They then took her out to open water and started detonating bombs and shells on her deck. Rough weather started pushing her toward the Polish coast, so the weapons trials had to be cut short. The Soviets hit her with ropedoes, and she went down.

Dido class, Bellona sub-class

There were sixteen Dido-type ships commissioned. During the war, they combined to shoot down a total of fifteen aircraft. I keep thinking the RN would have been better off just building more Arethusas, and I dislike Arethusas.

I’m gonna need more clues on 2 and 4.

Haguro Heavy cruiser

Argh! I was off by one class.
The first Japanese heavy cruisers were designed with 200mm guns. The Washington Treaty set the limit for cruiser guns at 203mm. The Japanese eventually switched out all their cruiser 200mm guns and mounted 203mm guns in their place. Was a gain of 3mm really worth it?
One ship–Aoba?–kept her original guns, but they were rebored to 203mm.

I just noticed all the 90mm mounts in Pic 3. It’s Doria class, though I can’t possibly say whether it’s Duilio or Doria.
The lengthened bow in the rebuilt Dorias was a bit more elaborate than in the Cavours. If you look at a longitudinal section of a rebuilt Cavour, you can actually see the old bow inside the new one.

I can’t identify ships even when I can see them in their entirety. What about number 5? It looks Japanese to me. Is it one of the many incarnations of the Furutaka/Aoba class?

I can’t believe you guys are doing all these WWII ships, and I missed it.
Let’s see if I can attach a pic without blowing anything up.

Does anyone have an armor schematic for the Sverdlovs?
