Let's have another WW2 quiz
This is a continuation of the first thread on this.
Guru
I'll ask a question!
What was the last cruiser (ship, not tank) purchased by the Royal Australian Navy?
Guru
That would be HMAS Perth, formerly HMS Amphion, a modified Leander-class light cruiser, the last of three Leanders bought by the RAN.

This sounds like a trick question to me. If you were referring to a ship of the Royal Navy you wouldn't have used "British-built" in your question. That reference leads me to suspect that you are asking about a ship built by the British, but commissioned in another navy at the time of its sinking.Originally Posted by Jarlaxle
On the other hand if you are referring to a Royal Navy ship I would guess HMS Pathfinder, British Destroyer sunk 11 February 1945 by aircraft off Ramree Island, Burma.
Guru
Destroyers aren't capital ships. Generally for capital ships you're looking at the likes of battleships, battlecruisers, aircraft carriers..........
Guru
Oh! Never mind. From now on you can call me Admiral Albert.

Lol...okay Admiral.

I suppose it would be to obvious if it was the Hood? Or the Renown?
I am terrible with names, and I am trying to remember time frames. I believe the Hood was sunk before the Renown(or was it Repulse?) and the Prince of Wales(?) were sunk by the Japanese.
Then there was the Battleship sunk at Scapa Flow by the U-boat- one of the most daring raids of of WW2- started with a "W"?
But I suspect it is something more devious than those...not going to cheat and look it up but i am tempted.
The problem with marriage is that we heterosexuals are not honoring marriage sufficiently- not with homosexuals wanting to get married.
Every child a homosexual couples has is a desired child.
