Which would make it the flag of Thailand.

#2453 - That's the problem with internet sites. Found a site with the same photo identifying it as Richelieu. Went back to check if I misread it and found a second story on the same site with this photo, only now it is says it's Dunkerque.

Happens on occasion. It's caused no end of arguments over the years. I checked the image and it came up Dunkerque. So i knew you were going to get the thumbs down. :thumb:

Well, at least it was fun. Kept me busy for a while. Even learnt a few things along the way.

"Even learnt a few things along the way."

Thats the way to look at it.

During my time on SN i was severely taken to task for misidentifying a ship which differed from her sister ship only by the alignment of her fwd davits....... "quizmaster should be more careful...etc"

Given the time and effort spent on researching the questions..... mostly too easy....too hard.....the complaint would have made it very easy to "jack it in"......i cant research everything in depth.

Thanks for understanding.

Think that must be Enterprise ( not the Starship).

I echo Rusty’s comments, if people are unhappy, then just don’t take part!
As time goes by, one learns that what you see or think may not be right.
Suck it up, and move on.
