My turn to deliver five quizzes.


No. 1
1) I am part of a counter.
2) I was lost during my only combat mission.
3) My commander recieved the VC during my last, and only, mission.
4) My displacement was 27 tons.
5) In the same action the commander of my sister boat also recieved the VC.

With that tonnage it must be a midget sub then. There were two winners I think for the attack on Tirpitz and one (or two) for the sinking of a Japanese cruiser. As I have no idea of the designation of the latter, I will go for X5, X6 and X7.

No. 2
1) We have our own counters.
2) Some claimed that we had a 'zone of control'.
3) We were used during the entire war.
4) We were credited for sinking several ships but we were mainly used over land.
5) One of those ships lost because of our actions were HMS Grenade. (Since Warspite1 is the one answering I changed the clue to one more navy oriented)

Ju-87


Please beware that I might not use the correct wording in my clues and that I might even have the facts wrong. I am no expert in this and I just do it for fun.

You know, I think Warspite is cheating... He's just changed the Wellingtons into the Heinkels, of course... [:D]
