what post dreadnaught not battlecruiser is named after a british commonwealth nation?
Neither the navy nor the time period were specified, but with nine ships the Royal Navy's Majestic Class of pre-dreadnoughts (1894-1896) is the clear winner - as are you, ddp59, and the next question is yours.
Said it was easy!

what time period & what navy?
9 ships MAJESTIC CLASS http://www.battleships-cruisers.co.uk/majestic.htm
5 ships KING GEORGE V CLASS http://www.battleships-cruisers.co.uk/king_george_v_class.htm
The only Class that I can come up with was the British "Royal Sovereign Class". This Class had 5 Sisterships instead of the usual 4.

OK, here's an easy "quickie"..... Which class of battleships was the largest - in terms of numbers built?
You are quite right Rick. Graf Spee's Bell was taken off her for safe passage back to Germany before her demise. It was placed onboard Scharnhorst after her bell became severley cracked through Enemy Action or the extreme Cold of her normal Operational Area. The info was sourced from a Book written of her account by one of her 36 Survivors......Fritz-Otto Busch.
I believe Scharnhorst received the ship's bell recovered from Graf Spee., but I don't have any firm evidence to prove it.
Ok next question is as follows:-
KGMS Scharnhorst replaced her Ship's Bell after it became severely cracked. Her Bell was replaced with one from another Vessel who's Name was well known. What Ship had her Bell given to the Scharnhost?
No worries. I found it in wikepedia under Friendly Fire. I will be back shortly with a question.
Yes. that is it.
Would you mind terribly telling me where you found this information?
Thanks
OK. In 1944, RAF Typhoons attacked a Flotilla off Cap D'Antifer off Le Harve France. RN Vessels HMS Britomart and HMS Hussar were sunk . HMS Salamander was damaged beyond repair and HMS Jason escaped.
Sorry guys,
I could not get my internet connection to work where I was in Spain.
I left before I could answer Felix C , I only knew of Warspite's cat.
Once again sorry for the delay.
OK. There was a friendly fire incident in which RAF aircraft attacked,sank, and damaged a number of RN ships in WWII.
Kindly name the date or names of the vessels affected.
Just take it, Felix; if no one has any obections. It would be nice to get this thing rolling again.
No one waiting on me I hope.
I answered with a mere steamgunboat which had a mascot not the BB.
I will yield to the other respondent as I have provided a few questions in the last year.
Dan A subfixer: It looks as if you will have to help us out here so we can get on with the quiz. Yep. Almost a week without so much as a guess--help needed.

To be fair, he did state that he would be gone for three weeks, but perhaps it would have been appropriate if he had tied up this loose end before he left.

Felix C. And there was a cat Pinocho on HMSGB 7 as well. Which is why these questions will have more than one answer. You did not state BB in the beginning when the question was asked leaving all responses as valid.

Well? The world wonders.
OK,
Able Cat Pinnochio was the mascot of HMS Warspirte 1943-4.
There's a picture of him on page 143 of " Battleship Warspite" by V.E.Tarrant.
Someone else want to have a go as I am off to Spain for 3 weeks and I'm not sure of the Internet reception there, so I might not be on the forum for a while.
OK I will have a go. A small Yorkshire Terrier is called a Pinocchio. One was listed as a Japanese POW and was released and awarded the Dicken Medal. A Terrier named Judy was listed as a member of the Royal Navy. Being a Japanese POW and coming from a Battleship, I would say she was the Mascot of either the Repulse or the Prince of Wales.
Five days, and nobody wants to play. Is it time to let the cat out of the bag?
Battleship.
There could have been more than one RN warship from that time period with a mascot Pinochio.
Just lile Micky M. and Felix the Cat, popular for the day.
