In the meantime, it's anyone to go..

I'll chip in with a hard one!

According to the most recent publicly released general arrangement plans, how many main fire zones (MFZ) does Titanic II have?

clanky · « **Reply #9827 on:** August 08, 2013, 22:17:23 »

Haven't seen the GA, but based on the size, I'm going tio guess 5?

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #9828 on:** August 08, 2013, 22:29:39 »

shouldn't ship quiz be about ships that (have) actually exist(ed)?

saltydog · « **Reply #9829 on:** August 08, 2013, 23:46:57 »

I think I'm partly to blame Fred, by saying that ship-related questions in a broad sense were ok..
Should have added 'preferably existing or existed ships'

(quote): *ships, also known as *-boats, decoy vessels, special service ships, or mystery ships, were heavily armed merchant ships with concealed weaponry, designed to lure submarines into making surface attacks. This gave *-ships the chance to open fire and sink them. The basic ethos of every *-ship was to be a wolf in sheep's clothing.

They were used by the British Royal Navy (RN) during the First World War and by both the RN and the United States Navy during the Second World War (1939â€“1945), as a countermeasure against German U-boats and Japanese submarines." (end quote)

What was the common name of these kind of ships..?

Nice guess, but the answer is 7. (http://media.news.com.au/fe/2012/07/titanic2plans/doc/titanic-ii-plans.pdf) The main fire zones are labeled under the modernized (though the design's been changed since then) side profile.

Disney Wonder is Disney Magic's brother ship....
Also Carnival Fascination is Ecstasy's brother ship...

It's your turn to post a question. That's how this game works.. (read post #1)

GeoP17 · « **Reply #9841 on:** August 11, 2013, 16:05:05 »

What's the name of the ship?

HELP: It recently crashed with another ship

GeoP17 · « **Reply #9842 on:** August 12, 2013, 08:58:58 »

Come on guys it's easy.....
More help: The crash took place near Andros island

GeoP17 · « **Reply #9843 on:** August 12, 2013, 15:24:09 »

According to saltydog's first post, i should say the quiz's ansewer after 2 hours

Quote from: saltydog on March 12, 2009, 19:09:11

- a question stays for 2 hours..If after this time no correct answer is given, anyone can go next

Well the ship is called Katherine and crashed with Baru Satu near Andros island at 4/7/2013 (see picture 2&3)
Now it's at my hometown's shipyards

(see picture 4)

saltydog · « **Reply #9844 on:** August 13, 2013, 07:42:28 »

Hi GeoP17, you don't have to give the answer after 2 hours, it just means anyone can post a new one after that time..

The 2-hour rule is there for the following reasons:
- Someone posts a question, then forgets all about it until a few days later (while everyone is waiting)
- Someone gives a correct answer, gets the 'green light', but does not post a new question..

Hope this doesn't stop you from playing, just leave your next question on a bit longer..

Greetings, salty

GeoP17 · « **Reply #9845 on:** August 13, 2013, 08:27:06 »

Ok, thanks Saltydog I will wait for the correct ansewer the next time
