Liebe Forumsmitglieder,

kennt ihr schon diese site,

in der es um die Identifikation von hhistorischen Marinephotos geht?

Recht anregend, wie ich finde!

Hazegray/mysteries

Die Hauptseite hazegray ist natürlich auch lohnend, wenn man sich für die Grauen interessiert...

Beste Wünsche, Bazinga

Für diejenigen, die ungern wildfremde verlinkte sites anklicken, hier mal ein Beispiel...

Mystery Picture #69
This is the Italian (former) battleship (ex-)Italia, hulked at Brindisi as floating battery, between 1915 and 1917. Italia was completed in 1885 as a rather unusual battleship. She originally had six funnels (3 forward and 3 aft), and a single central mast; her speed of about 18 knots was very high for the day. She could accommodate thousands of troops, making her somewhat of a cruiser-transport rather than a pure battleship. The arrangment of her main armament was equally unusual, as she had four guns in a large armored citadel, with no turret or other overhead protection at all. This was the era of giant guns, so she was fitted with 17 inch pieces; three 17"/26 caliber, and one 17"/27 caliber. In 1905-1908 she was modified to the form seen here, with the funnels reduced to four, and a pair of masts fitted.
Her near-sister Lepanto had four funnels from the start, but always carried one central mast; she had a uniform battery of four 17"/27 caliber guns.
Italia served in a variety of auxiliary roles after 1909; she was stricken in 1914 but continued in these duties, and was re-instated on the navy list in 1915. After several conversions and years in auxiliary roles, she was finally stricken in 1921 and subsequently scrapped.

So?

Die Leerzeichen vor dem IMG jeweils entfernen.

Aaah, super, Oliver,

vielen Dank!

weiß zwar nicht, weshalb ich kein pdf anhängen konnte, aber immerhin kann ich dann zukünftig Photos verlinken.

Bei der Italia ist noch zu erwähnen, dass sie mit ihrem überschweren Kaliber für viel Aufsehen in der Weltöffentlichkeit sorgte und besonders der britischen Mittelmeerflotte Koprfzerbrechen bereitete, die Feuerrate aber selbst für ihre Zeit so niedrig war, dass sie in Fahrt kaum je ein bewegtes Ziel mit der SA hätte treffen können.
