[Nikademus]

Hermes?

[Feinder]

Grrr.

Yep. It's Hermes.

I was getting tired of posting mine-sweepers tho. I'll have to find more pics of just a gun-mount or some other way to make it tougher.

Congrats Nik!

HMS Unicorn

[niceguy2005]

Nik, what's the tip-off?

Feinder, you should require that the guessers tell you how they know. That way we know that they aren't just pulling the picture off the web.

[Nikademus]

stern and hanger construction. Also the tall formast. Hermes had a tripod but it was a narrow one so would easily smudge in a grainey quality rear photo but its still massive enough to be distinctive.

[Mike Solli]

Maybe it was this....

[Nikademus]

lol....actually i didn't notice the flag. [:D]

[Mynok]

That's got my vote! [:D]

[Mike Solli]

Heh, I didn't notice the flag until you mentioned it. I was too busy "enhancing" the pic.[:D]

[Speedysteve]

LOL. I too didn't notice the flag after I had missed the name on the ship [;)]

[Mike Solli]

Uh, Speedy, I added the name after Nik identified it.[:(]

[Nikademus]

The harder part was guessing whether it was Eagle or Hermes.....I recalled that Hermes had an overhang at one point but this picture must have predated it.

[Mike Solli]

Actually, you can see the name in the original pic.[:D]

[Mike Solli]

Here it is.

[Nikademus]

looks like a smudge to me. Then again i have a glare screen on my monitor and have the brightness turned down way low.

[Mike Solli]

Let me really enhance it.

[Nikademus]

ah....

that would have made things easier had i caught it. [;)]

Feinder you have not tried interior shots yet. [:D]

[Mike Solli]

Don't give him any ideas.
