Mystery subs

[greenman407]

Who can name the two mystery subs?:wink:

[greenman407]

Ok Dudes, Your first hint. The one on the left is a Yankee Notch. What then is the one on the right? Notice the shelf extending from in front of the sail. Notice that tail fin.

[greenman407]

Youre 2nd hint is that its name is a very popular game.

Bingo class. LOL

Strange critters

OK, I've gone through the alphabet and the only game I can come up with is Golf. Of course, Romeo, can be a fun game too as well as Tango if it's done right. How about Whiskey?

The ass-end looks NOVEMBERish. That makes it a HEN.

HOTEL.

I think this boat was modified for Range calibration/qualification.


David,

This one is as you say "Quite a Sticky Wicket" I think. Sometimes modifacations can make identity difficult. The following pictures are of a "GOLF" Note the similarity of the bow and not so much the sail in these pictures to the original mystery subs picture.

[greenman407]

Now note the same perspective on the "Hotel" The sail is a dead ringer but the tail is too short. So is it a modified golf or a modified Hotel? Maybe its a new class referred to as a "Gotel" LOL!! I guess that I would have to put my money on a modified "Hotel" What are your thoughts?

It was a steam train in another life!

[greenman407]

Wooooooooooh......woooooooh,........chug,chug,chug !

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

Whoa, whoa, there horsey!

Did I guess right or not?!

David,

[greenman407]

I would say that its a "Hotel" with a twist. So yes, you were right. Good Job!

[greenman407]

While were at it here is another "Golf". You can see that it has no upper rudder support. It is quite a remarkable resemblance to the tail on the WW2 German type 21.

That's because that alot of the earlier russian boats were based on the Type XXI design
