I forgot that! The Olympic, at the time a Troop ship, spotted a U-Boat and turned towards it and ram it. I knew something was left out in my knowledge of the liners.

true but it isnt that easy lol

matt5674 · « **Reply #30 on:** August 01, 2011, 16:57:01 »

Titanic is the odd one as all the other three sailed in a World War while Titanic sank before World War I, Lusitanis sailed in WWI and the Hood the Gustloff sailed in WWII

saltydog · « **Reply #31 on:** August 01, 2011, 17:06:24 »

The Hood is the only one to have been sunk in the Battle of the Denmark Straight..Either initially by the Prinz Eugen or later the Bismarck..

barrown1990 · « **Reply #32 on:** August 01, 2011, 19:24:14 »

very good ansers. my anser is the gustloff is the odd one out. when the others sank there was puplic outcry and shock in britain when reached britton of their sinkings while he sinking of the wilhelm gustlof was all but forgotten

saltydog · « **Reply #33 on:** August 01, 2011, 19:29:40 »

The sinking of the Hood caused quite a shock as well..

exactly. the point is all 3 generated som form of shock reaction while wilhelm gustlof's sinking went almost unnoticed

Aad The Pirate · « **Reply #35 on:** August 01, 2011, 22:04:57 »

Could the reason be that the Gustloff was sunk by a Soviet Sub and not another allied one?
Allmost all of the people on-board were civilians, among them more then 500 children.
It was an outreagous act of brutal slaughter from the side of the Soviet Union.
In 1990 the commander of that sub was posthumous awarded with the title "Hero of the Soviet Union"
SOME HERO

you are right. anyway moving on. here are the next set

-olympic
-aquitania
-carpathia
-queen mary

VirtualSkipper · « **Reply #37 on:** August 01, 2011, 23:40:33 »

Olympic was the only non-cunard ship in that list?

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #38 on:** August 01, 2011, 23:57:05 »

Queen Mary is the only vessel on the list still around?

matt5674 · « **Reply #39 on:** August 01, 2011, 23:59:39 »

Carpathia is odd because she was the only one to have sunk.

barrown1990 · « **Reply #40 on:** August 02, 2011, 00:00:57 »

gud ansers. my anser is the aquitania as it was the only liner to serve in both world wars.

as i wont be here for a couple of days anyone else want to name the next set?

barrown1990 · « **Reply #41 on:** August 11, 2011, 01:42:36 »

ok now i am out of the hospital here are the next set to get things going again

-scharnhorst
-bismarck
-admiral graf spee
-admiral scheer

matt5674 · « **Reply #42 on:** August 11, 2011, 02:05:20 »

The Admiral Scheer is odd because her namesake (Reinhard Scheer) does not include "von" (Gerhard Johann von Scharnhorst, Otto von Bismarck, Maximilian von Spee are the namesakes of their respective ships)

saltydog · « **Reply #43 on:** August 11, 2011, 02:14:32 »

I would also say the Admiral Scheer, but because her size was limited to a cruiser by the Treaty of Versailles..

so was the graf spee. it was just sunk before the rest of her class was reclasified as cruisers

barrown1990 · « **Reply #45 on:** August 11, 2011, 11:50:40 »

the anser is they all took part in oporations with atleast 1 other ship during ww2 except the admiral graf spee which acted alone frome the time war started untill it was sunk

Admiral Graf Spee is the odd out as she was the only German warship not to receive 'Atlantic' bow and a new funnel rake modifications?

(EDIT: sorry I didn't see barrown1990's answer!)
