Non of your answers are right

notice: The aircraft carrier in the front is spanish

The one at the back is HMS Illustrious or HMS Ark Royal. With Invincible being moth balled as we can no longer afford to keep these vessels afloat... Still, at least we're spending our money on worthwhile social engineering projects instead [I can just imaging (insert any moderator name) saying "shut it").

I would say as this was most likely a Gulf operation between the Royal Navy and our 'allies'. Due to the length of the ski ramp I would say it is most likely the Ark.

The front vessel, I don't know.

saltydog · « **Reply #5111 on:** December 08, 2009, 22:15:39 »

From front to back: Principe de Asturias, USS Wasp, USS Forrestal, HMS Invincible..

My Q then.

What was the name of the first Ocean Village and where did it come from (former fleet, place of build)

And anyone who can't get this one needs to go lie down.

Capt Mike, your mission- should you choose to accept it- is to ask the next question. This forum will self destruct in 98 years
