You know nothing [8|]

It is of course, as Canoerebel pointed out, Angus Mutsu after whom the Yamashiro was named.

It is of course HMS King George V - or KGV to her friends [&o].

No peeking now. From the picture below, name the two sisters that served in one of the navies in WWII

"Her" friends? Should King George V (or KGV) have-in reality-been Queen George V (or QGV to her friends)?

Bonnie Strait and Priscilla Peninsula? The latter was renamed after marriage.

There are some who call ships 'it' and not 'she'. Don't know why, whether its PC or whatever, I am sure there is no single reason and each to their own.

But to me, ships are ladies and after over 50 years on this planet, I am not changing now [:)].

Correct. I guess it was the twin 15-inchers that gave it away?

First Chipping Sparrow this year.

we have a lot of Confederate Violets here. Very edible. People use to dip them, and other flowers, into a sugar and egg white mixture to put on cakes.

Some Violets will flower underground.

Dandelions, Violets, Nettles and Plantain are all on the menu. Redbud flowers also.

I'll leave this overnight before posting a clue (in the unlikely event that that proves necessary).

Sicily Tyson must be one. I don't know the other.

Yeah, I guess you'd be right in both cases.

These two? The granddaughters of Mussolini? The one in the middle is his daughter Edda.

Did you notice that my next post (which was my second guess) was the Prince of Wales? But, as I didn't put two guesses in the same post, I think that passed muster. [;)]
