Nah! I still can't figure out which one it is from either of the WIKI photos compared with Jim's cropped puzzle...so go fer it!

and consider yer early Xmas gift!

ok; gotta go with HMS Pioneer...it's the only one I can find with stern photos as per jim's hint:"part of aft end" but I'm still unable to precisely match the photo with the ship fotos.

Well i did not find the exact photo which Jim posted either, but here this Perseus one has a deckhouse or structure at the rear deck:

https://www.quora.com/When-the-Royal...aunch-aircraft

Then it seems the aft deckhouse was installed on both:

"Seriously, when she and another sistership were selected to be converted into Aircraft Maintenance Carriers, the Arrestor Gear and Catapult were removed. Also a Deckhouse was built on the Aft portion of the Flight Deck and an Aircraft Crane was also installed on the Flight Deck, Portside just forward of the Island."

Though i am not sure about the credibility of this quora quote

I think i found the photo, it is the HMS Pioneer:

Jul1945, HMS PIONEER at anchor off Pityilu Island, the Admiralty Islands

So Aktung is right

Pioneer it is and seeing as how Kai has posted tthe ink to the correct photo I don't need to

Over to Aktung

Aktungbby · 11-07-22, 11:27 AM

JEEZE!

A 50-50% shot-in-the-dark based on which of the two Colossus class vessels had the most stern photos??

My old logic course in college to fulfill the miserable math requirement for a degree finally paid off!...and I don't need Aricept...quite yet

I'll post something insidiously difficult shortly!

Jimbuna · 11-07-22, 12:10 PM

The image I based my question on and can be found in the link Kai posted above.

Aktungbby · 11-07-22, 12:18 PM
