Japan- Nagato Class. Two battleships- Nagato and Mutsu. Both were completed in 1920-1921, before the Washington Naval Treaty.

Bondoman FYI Conway's Steam, Steel and Shellfire lists them as 406.4 mm with a length bore calibre of 18, so unless I screwed up the math, wouldn't that give a length of 24' ? Now that's one hell of a ramrod!

Britain.

HMS Inflexible was fitted with four muzzle loading RML 16 inch 80 ton guns in 1880.

She was the only ship of her class.

Must be carronades and such from earlier times, mortars etc. but I can't find the exact match. 400 mm would be a search.

I believe since its been greater than a week, anyone can submit a new question. I'll submit this simple one.

"Which vessel belonging to the US Asiatic fleet during WWII sailed from the Dutch East Indies to Ceylon without the use of its rudder. She was damaged by aerial bombs."

Wow - what a guess, eh?  After I hit the Post button I looked up the ship and was sure the correct answer would be torpedo tubes.

Well done, Don. HMS Neptune was the first British warship fitted with a bathroom. Her other claim to fame was that while she was being towed to the scrapyard in 1903, she rammed HMS Victory (still afloat as a training ship), collided with HMS Hero and narrowly missed several other ships.

You are correct sir! We had dinner last Saturday with friends of ours, he has a board game company. He was saying what a lousy game it is since halfway through the results are obvious, and the rest of the game just involves becoming financially ruined.

I'd been a little stumped on what my trivia ? would be , but then it came to me so I did a little reading up. Most likely she is modeled after BB-4 USS Iowa.

Over to you, RickF

Do you mean which ship has been produced as a model the most times by different companies? Taking all mediums - plastic, wood and card, my money would be on HMS Victory
