Mystery ship

[obvert]

This one is in game. What ship is it?

[jdsrae]

No real idea, I’ve never done any ship silhouette training!
And I can’t be arsed googling to check any...
My guess as it looks corvette sort of size is a Bathurst class, so HMAS Wollongong?

[Ian R]

Hull form looks like a French sloop, but the unshielded gun mounts and single stack are wrong for the Bougainville class.

Beyond that, I had to look it up in Conways, so no comment.

[Gridley380]

My first thought was something Commonwealth from the general appearance, but I sure couldn't say the class without flipping through a book or two.

[Panther Bait]

I'd say it appears to be a minesweeper based on the davits/cranes on the stern. Fits with the overall apparent size and armament as well. I do agree that it appear to be Commonwealth from the general styling.

[AW1Steve]

It looks like an Indian Navy sloop. Maybe the Hindustan class? Of course that a total WAG that I pulled out of my nether regions. "fraid I don't have time to research it right now. [:(][&:][:)]

[GetAssista]

Looks like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halcyon-class_minesweeper

My bet is on HMS Bramble because of mast layout

Some Thai sloop?

[RangerJoe]

As far as I know, the Thai ships are not in the game.

[Dili]

yep, i think they are not on the game so not a valid hypothesis

It's a RAN Grimsby. Maybe Yarra (or Swan, Parramatta or Warrego)

It's the HMAS Yarra circa 1936.

Both correct! It is Yarra.

I've always thought it strange Yarra has torpedoes. Why on a 16knot escort? I can't find anything in my limited search that shows torpeodoes on Yarra either. Usually she is list with only 3 x 4inch DP guns and some 20mm AA.

[geofflambert]

According to Conway's she did not have torpedo capability.

In my DBB game she has torpedoes. Maybe they messed with this class for some reason.

[obvert]

In my stock game she is as yours, a Swan Class with no torpedoes.

[geofflambert]

Maybe someone with a ship avatar PO'd JWE. I'd go into the editor and fix that.

[Ian R]

The RAN website says no torpedos at launch in 1935, and does not mention any ever being added.

Edit - I can't get the image to display. Look here: http://www.navy.gov.au/hmas-yarra-ii

On the other hand, the WW1 'River' Class Torpedo Boat Destroyer Yarra(i) had three 18" tubes.
