Well, no need to wait for Mr Nathan- I'm pretty sure this isn't the PO Hull

Question:

What is the name of this ship (below) that has recently been axed by P&O due to total management incompetence and a general failure to exercise the duty of care of every corporate director in that to maximise utilisation of corporate resources for the maximum return to shareholders.

I will give you a clue: The name is on the bow of the ship... (I didn't see it as worthwhile removing it since we all know what I'm talking about here)

By any chance the Pride of Bilbao, soon to be named something Irish with a big cloverleaf on the funnel..

HOW did you guess?

Is it really going to Ireland, or is that just an off the cuff comment?

Not sure what you mean here Stuart as DP World, the operators, don't have any shareholders?

Firstly, without wishing to go off topic, P&O Ferries Ltd is still an incorporated company, registered at companies house. Its parent company DP World ports own 100% shares in the company... There are still identifiable shares in the company.

Michael, with great respect, perhaps before trying to pull me up on a spurious point- you could at least check you are right

Nah, I don't think anyone knows what Irish ferries will do with her (or even use her?).

Ok, 3 Part Question

1) Name of the ship
2) Where is she now
3) What happened to her in 1989 to 1990 in Bremerhaven?

A shame... I liked the 2 grasshoppers, although they were very slow by comparison to others on the DC(ITSE) channel.

My go, what was the fate of the Fantasia?
It's current route
Current name

HmhsBritannic · « **Reply #5631 on:** January 24, 2010, 21:22:19 »

Torpedoed?

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #5632 on:** January 24, 2010, 22:44:46 »

No, it wasn't torpedoed, Britannic...

Fantasia is now the Wawel, and runs up the Baltic from Gdansk to Stockholm. It is operated by Polferries. It has been re-built inside to a proper overnight ferry, with cabins etc.

It looks pretty good now- some things get better with age...

Well, since there isn't posted here something for a while, I'll just do something.

What is the class name of this ship:

TJK · « **Reply #5634 on:** January 25, 2010, 16:54:48 »

destroyer

jim.smith · « **Reply #5635 on:** January 25, 2010, 17:54:21 »

Heavy Cruiser.

jim.smith · « **Reply #5636 on:** January 25, 2010, 18:24:59 »

Yamato Class,maybe

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #5637 on:** January 25, 2010, 18:26:18 »

Its a Fuso class battleship of the Japanese Imperial Navy.

Based on the top of the tower, I'd say it was actually Fuso itself (the other 2 had different obs deck)

jim.smith · « **Reply #5638 on:** January 25, 2010, 18:29:19 »

I think your right Stu.Yamato has a sloping funnel.

VirtualSkipper · « **Reply #5639 on:** January 25, 2010, 18:41:45 »

Stuart is right

to jim.smith, this is a Yamayo Class:

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #5640 on:** January 25, 2010, 18:57:45 »

WOW! That's 2 I've got right today...

I don't have a Q, so I relinquish my go to someone who has better knowledge of these matters.

jim.smith · « **Reply #5641 on:** January 25, 2010, 19:32:28 »

Name this Warship.

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #5642 on:** January 25, 2010, 19:39:49 »

HMS Hood

jim.smith · « **Reply #5643 on:** January 25, 2010, 19:40:31 »

Right again Stu.

saltydog · « **Reply #5644 on:** January 25, 2010, 20:32:25 »

So you know enough to answer questions, but not enough to think of a new one ?

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #5645 on:** January 25, 2010, 21:47:28 »

OK. What famous Polish Destroyer is going to visit Cowes in 2012. And why?

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #5646 on:** January 25, 2010, 21:51:03 »

ORP BÅ‚yskawica

Coming back to Cowes to celebrate the 70th anniversary of her battle against the german aircraft that came to bomb the Isle of Wight.

HmhsBritannic · « **Reply #5647 on:** January 25, 2010, 21:58:24 »

Ok, Fred. Make A Question.

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #5648 on:** January 25, 2010, 21:58:39 »

A Dutch bloke answers a question about a Polish Navy ship, which was fighting in Britain against the Germans. Truly a multinational answer.

Yes, you are exactly right.

Bonus point if you can tell me where the ship was built and why it was actually moored in the Medina.
