Japanese Tenryu class light cruiser?

Picture...

Nope, it's not a light cruiser.

Sorry, MT.

All I see is a little box with a red "x" in it...

Is it the Polish Destroyer Ouragan?

I still can't see MT's picture in the opening post, but I recall that the Japanese converted some light cruisers into special operations ships. A couple mine layers, a Kaitan carrier, a landing craft mother ship. Is it any one of those?

Correct! It's OF Ouragan under Polish flag and with Polish crew. All Polish ships received prefix ORP (Okret Rzeczpospolitej Polskiej - Polish Republic Ship), even those which were only leased from Royal Navy.

This one was a sole exception. It was French ship, taken over by Brits, and then temporarily given to Polish Navy. While in Polish Navy it had a unique prefix OF (Okret Francuski - French Ship).

mlees - i don't have any idea why you cannot see this. I can see the picture, which is linked from photobucket.

I read the complete background when I found the Ouragan, I believe it said it means Hurricane. Is that the proper translation into english?

Hmm I don't know French either, but...

French ouragan sounds simillar to Polish huragan which actually means a hurricane.

Your employers are old farts & no fun

Where are you employed, Dewie, Cheatham and Howe?

ORIGINAL: Tankerace

Where are you employed, Dewie, Cheatham and Howe?

Department of Defence contractor (otherwise known as a D@$# Civilian), working on a Naval Air Station, using (DoD) computers for Internet surfing when I am at work. I am under contract to fix out of warranty desktop computers that are used to run an old piece of software, and I have nothing to do when nothing is broke. Good work when you can find it.

I am at home now, and I can see the OP's photo fine, now...

Posted: **Sat Oct 08, 2005 2:05 am**

Wow.... that actually sounds like a pretty good job. I think I found my new career choice.

Posted: **Sat Oct 08, 2005 2:07 am**

BTW, the Dewie Cheatham and Howe gag was in now was meaning you had a bad job... just been trying to use that gag for a while now.

Posted: **Sat Oct 08, 2005 2:08 am**

Sorry. That gag went right over my head. I lived a sheltered life, I guess. Don't take it too hard. [:)]
