Need help identifying ship. Canadian Sailor, 1946, maybe in Germany, looks like quad barrel AA guns?

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Were the Halifax Class and Type 23 frigates designed in collaboration with one another?

I've spent time on the Halifax Class and seen pictures and built models of the Type 23, I'm kind of noticing a lot of similar design elements between the T23s and CPFs, similar type of armament, mission profile, layout, etc. Thought I'd ask to quell the curiosity.

Why would a warship fly both the Israeli and Egyptian flags?

Visible here in this video. The warship was passing through the Suez Canal and is apparently Israeli. Why would it be flying the Egyptian flag alongside it?

If anyone here is a windsorite, this is for you.

The beautiful sea-girl HMCS Harry Dewolf is right here in Windsor Ontario! Come aboard and be able to go to the bow and see the amazing autocannon! Go to command room and see! Or go on the pontoon raft and check out the waters!

20 inch HESH vs Destroyer

I hope this is the right sub for this. I was wondering what the effect of a 20" HESH shell in my worldbuilding hitting a destroyer (let's say something like the Fletcher class) would be.

Tsar Dream battleships that were actually Proposed

I was looking through online for Soviet Super battleships and aside from finding the usual Sovetsky Soyuz, I found something else rather interesting, The Tsars had drawn up ideas for Proposals to essentially "Pimp up" their navy and throw away the Gangut class battleships. This I find rather interesting because most of their designs look almost Foreign, The Bubnov, supposed to have been fitted with 16 inch guns and 400mm of armor on it's turrets are basically just a Normandie class battleship design. The one you'll see after that looks almost identical to a Tegetthoff class battleship, and the last one is quite literally the Sinop Battleship in world of warships which is really interesting because it means that Sinop isn't just a fan made ship, it was based on a real Tsar design. Here is the link to the website with all the specifications of the battleships: http://www.gwpda.org/naval/irn16bb.htm

Shell Hits

We’ve all heard about what ship hits what, but I’m wondering what it actually looks like the moment a shell hits, does a high explosive shell just cause a big explosion, does an ap shell disappear and all you can see is a flash through a small hole?

Basically how is a shell impact visualised

In case anyone was wondering what a battle line of four Yamato-class battleships firing a full broadside at night might look like, well, here you go.

Can you identify these ships?

Location is Naval Base Simons Town, checked wikipedia lists of decommissioned SA navy ships, checked online, used google image search and still wasn't able to identify them

I've often wondered with historical colourisation being a hobby for a few people, what would it take for someone to colour this whole film?

ID of Historical Figures

Does anyone know who this is? Sorry, this is the best picture I can get. Old time sailing captain, likely European, probably distinguished so may be of note.

Also, if anyone has a cool looking old time portrait/painting/photograph/whatever of someone who looks like they may have done something along the way, post it! Maybe, we can get to the bottom of it

How did they transport shells to a turret in WW1?

I'm doing research for a project and was wondering how they moved shells to turrets in WW1. Most of the diagrams are for WW2 ships and I need to find information from the first World War. Did they have some sort of elevator system to move shells like they had in WW2 or were they moved manually?

Is there any considerable visual difference between the HMS Victorious and HMS Formidable?
