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!

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.

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.

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.
