Eviss was right. Sorry I couldn't provide confirmation earlier, personal business got in the way

SD, that's a Hover Hawk. Anyone to go.

saltydog · « **Reply #5801 on:** February 05, 2010, 00:20:39 »

Right..:Anyone who answers one of my questions saying "anyone to go" or not posting a new one in 1 hour, loses my question, and sits there like a donkey without a paddle..

The rules are simple: if you don't have a new one, don't bother to answer..

McGherkin · « **Reply #5802 on:** February 05, 2010, 08:08:42 »

Well it's that or I leave you with the question and let you decide if the answer's
right.

saltydog · « **Reply #5803 on:** February 06, 2010, 04:18:01 »

Oh, the answer was right, but the follow-up left something to be desired..
If you're not a player, you're in the audience..

Same rules as in SSTP, but this quiz is about ships..

- a question stays for 2 hours..If after this time no correct answer is given, anyone can go next
- essentially, the questioneer determines if an answer is correct, and gives the "go-ahead" (green light)
- after the "green light", a new question is posted within 1 hour..If not, anyone can go next..

What is the name of this hydrofoil ship..?

Oh sodium mutt. I am disappointed in your duplicity. Oh so very disappointed... After you wrote to me in PM telling me this wasn't the case. When you indicated that this was a topic open to ALL members, not just specialist ship spotters. When you indicated that there was no problem with people joining in this 'fun' topic who could research the question but did not necessarily know enough to SET a NEW question.

Oh, zoute hond, I am very disappointed in you...

If that is a ship from the navy I think it is then it NEEDS that many guns so that they have a chance of hitting their target and not their allies...

Shoot first, ask questions later... "Sorry Admiral. We thought you were the bad dudes, godamit."

I am sad that you are so disappointed Stu (but I'll get over it somehow)

Hope your journey is going well..
