The first one is one of the bay class

Correct! Cardigan Bay’s bow section in a shed at Govan, ready to roll out onto the building slip once Mounts Bay was launched. Photo was taken on the day of Mounts Bay’s launch.

Seccond one is Finnish Pohjanmaa

Probably. 😀 I hadn’t labelled the photograph but I think you are correct. 😉

Bonus points – identify the two vessels visible behind Pohjanmaa.

I have another round ready to go as soon as someone gets the third one.

Sorry philbob, no and no!

#2 is the Chilean Type 22 frigate Almirante Williams.

I thought #1 was going to be easy. :confused:

pred, both correct. The BATRAL is Francis Garnier. Both are at home in their natural environment, the Caribbean Sea.

Wanshan, Zebedee, both correct.

For a bonus point, identify the second military vessel in the photo of Diligence. 🙂

But No 3 is still standing.

Olfert Fischer, Niels Juel class.

HMAS Tobruk differed in many way to the RN Round Table series. For one we had a huge 70 tonne Derrick on our vessel that out did the RN models Crane systems which could only lift up to 40 tonnes. We also had a major hospital unit on board our ship which included Dental and x-ray facilities and a 50 bed recovery ward (The RN vessels had minimal hospital facilities and instead of a recovery ward they used this space for extra troops).

The RN never directly operated Sir boats, only the RFA and BISN. Hence I can ask how many en-suite cabins does Tobruk have for her ship’s company of 😮 150? Naval accommodation standards explain where the apparent extra space on Tobruk comes from.
