Trivia!

The problem with transports is that they are civilian and will not be listed in Conways or really any other book like this.

 

As for the Wolverine. She was built for training in Lake Michigan. Steam driven maybe? If that is the case no way a fighting ship. Would be a novelty though. Does she have a hanger s
deck to store planes? Very important. Must have plane storage capacity.

 

That it's too small to see? Sorry old eyes.

 

No she had no hangar deck, but USN carrier doctrine was to park their aircraft on the deck anyways, which is why USN carriers had a larger airgroup then the other nations who stored their birds in the hangar.

 

Here is the other ship to the original I posted

 

One ship had two stacks, the sister had four? Those are some odd sisters.

 

They were from the same class of ships.

 

I will also add that planes hung from the ceilings also. I do not know where I saw it put I recall seeing a picture of Yorktown 2 and a picture showed this on here with a few Hellcats hanging up there. When I was working for a ship scraping company on Terminal Is. in So Cal I found a manual inside the Hancock stating this and how they got them up and down. This would explain the Yorktown's 102 capacity I read in Samuel Morrisons books. All the Essex class carriers did not all do this.

 

Just to help us get back into order, here is the question again:
so here is my substitute question:

What is an old naval onomatopoeic name for a Sub-Caliber Firing exercise?
In this exercise small bore gun-barrels are shipped inside the breeches of the big, guns enabling all the routine for the big guns to be exercised at the cost of the sub-caliber ammunition only.

 

Columbia and Minneapolis(sp.) class was the same way. One had 2 the other 3 stacks.

BB26 I guess the New Orleans Class "Elswick" cruisers purchased for the War with Spain.

 

knight...im gonna say "boom!", though im most likely wrong.

 

LOL! "Boom" is not the correct answer.

 

The answer is that the two ships were the first two ships when the Royal Canadian Navy was formed in 1910.

 

I see that we are still crossed for questions.
Which one are we on now?

 

Technically, we're still on your question. Since it's taking this long, I think we need a hint.

 

A Hint for a word that is a sound of firing sub caliber amunition?
Maybe think about the sound. It would not be a BOOM, but more like the old slow burning black powder.

What the hell is this? The old Batman TV series with Adam West and Burt Ward?

 

Dan, I was about to say the same thing! I see that you beat me to the punch.

As for all of the guesses:
Sorry but all of those sounds are to "Big" sounding.
This is a "SUB" Caliber firing. Think small and soft.
