OK...I'll crank it back up with an easy one...The North Carolina class battleship fired 2 types of projectiles from her 16" guns.
1. What were the 2 types of projectiles?
2. What are the ranges of said projectiles?
O.K. I'd hate to be the one who ends this thread...I didn't think the answer would be so difficult or draw little interest. Sorry!!
The Noregian steam merchant ship Sneland I was sunk 7 May 1945, at 11:06 p.m. by the U-boat U-2336 commanded by Kapitänleutnant Emil Kluesmeier. 7 were lost including the captain. U-2336 surrendered at Wilhelmshaven and was destryed on January 3rd, 1946 as part of Operation Deadlight.
DDP59 the floor is yours for the next question!!!
U-218 has the credit for the last ship sunk in World War Two when the British steam fishing vessel Kned was sunk on 10 July, 1945 by a mine field laid in August 1944 off Lizard Head by U-218. U-218 herself surrendered to the allies in May 1945 and ended up in Operation Deadlight.http://www.uboat.net/special/faq.htm?question=3

Yes, it should have been Audacious or Agamemnon, but those cunning Frenchies beat us to it!

This was a quick google search,
Le Napoléon was a 90-gun ship of the line of the French Navy, and the very first purpose-built steam battleship in the world
Yes indeed. In the first recorded submarine versus submarine action, U-22 failed to identify the surfaced U-7 off the Dutch coast and torpedoed her on 21 January 1915. Only the captain of U-7 survived.
Looks like your turn , Subfixer.
All gone very quiet. To help it along, let me tell you that the U-22/U-7 incident was what I was looking for... but how was it a "first"?
Sorry Jim, we're looking at an earlier U-22.
ddp59 has "almost" the right answer, but what was the "first" achieved by U-22?
