Don't think too deeply about it, Steve, you're not that far off. Just re-read the first part of the link and I'm sure you'll find it!! Adrie. 'Where to glue or where not to glue, that is the question'

Is it just the word "Enterprise" as there was also a 24 gun "HMS Enterprise" along with the USS Enterprise and the NCC 1701 Enterprise. I was hoping the 24 gun 6th rate Enterprise was launched in 1701 but as far as I can tell it was 1705 Steve

Give the man a cigar! You earned it, Steve. Yes, the link was that these are all ships named Enterprise but operating for a different entity (Royal Navy, US Navy, Starfleet). And I did try to find something for 1703 to link with the USS Enterprise so we would have a second link in numbers, namely 1705, 1703 and 1701, but couldn't find it. But never the less, over to you, Steve! Adrie. 'Where to glue or where not to glue, that is the question'

In October 1914 a German ship caused chaos in the Indian Ocean disguised as a British cruiser - name the German ship, the British cruiser she was disguised as and the major part of the disguise?. Im thinking this is too easy now but never mind Steve

stevie_o wrote:Well googled Del Over to you. Steve Hi Steve, How did you guess, still had to find the right thread This should be easy to GOOGLE  So: In 1707 four ships sank after hitting the Western rocks and Bishop rocks. Please supply answers to the following: Name the four ships Name the Islands the rocks are associated with (bit of a clue here) Name the captain of the first ship that would appear alphabetically I`ve had the honour of diving these wrecks, some of which you need special permission from the wreck owner to dive. (Oh happy days)  Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Hi Adrie, Google and Wiki are such a useful tool when you need some info, Eh. Unfortunately the good captain was out on official business when i popped in and I was unable to accept his offer of "Tiffin" as I had to get back to the mainland.

It must have been the dive of a lifetime! Anyway, the below question is linked to one of the models on this forum so should be easy enough for some. The question is: Why is 40 cm/45 Type 94 a lie? Adrie. 'Where to glue or where not to glue, that is the question'

Hi Adrie I believe the question refers to the Yamoto class guns Which were classified as 40cm (15.9 inch) to hide their true calibre which was 46cm (18.1 inch) Regards Graham Graham

Thanks Adrie,just luck really,I was reading about those guns just 10 minutes before your question! Here goes with my attempt, Can you name the ship that sailed with the Mayflower in 1620 but had to turn back as it was considered not to be seaworthy enough to continue? Best of luck all Graham Graham

OK, time for a new question on here I think A very easy one to get things going again - no googling allowed  Which two British ships with the same name took part in the Spanish Armada and served in the Iraq war, and what was the ship originally named? Steve
