Rambler 1-1 9 Posted October 25, 2009 (edited) Besides the F-16 (which looks like a tiger meet paintjob) and the F-102 (look where the intakes are) I spy an F-94, two T-33s, a C-47, a Convair, a B-57 and a Beech 18. Oh, and an F-4. And there's a BAe 146 on takeoff. Did I miss anything? Edited October 25, 2009 by Rambler 1-1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fubar512 1,350 Posted October 27, 2009 Find in this image: Spanish Cat Class Two dogs "Never get outta the boat" An angry bronze Titan (from "Jason and the Argonauts') Alpha Leonis and a few others..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fubar512 1,350 Posted October 28, 2009 Amazing! Going on 36 hours and I still have some of you stumped. FYI, Wrench got it immediately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fubar512 1,350 Posted October 28, 2009 Lets see, Crusader correctly ID'd the PBR (never get outta the boat), and both of the "dogs", the Sea Hund, and the Terrier missile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FastCargo 412 Posted October 28, 2009 Mace/Matador and Talos missiles? FC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fubar512 1,350 Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) Mace/Matador and Talos missiles? FC LOL, Talos is correct.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q17dl_aUNf4 But, the other missile might have something to do with Alpha Leonis... Speaking of which, FC, didn't you learn celestial navigation? Nicky would shame you in a nanosecond on that one, as would Lexx. "Spanish Cat Class" should be all too easy......

FastCargo 412 Posted October 28, 2009 Oh jeez...I'm an idiot. Figures that since it is a Navy related museum, that it might have Navy missiles...including the Regulus submarine launched cruise missile... Cel nav? Are you kiddin?

+Typhoid 231 Posted October 28, 2009 looks like there is a mini-sub in there too. Perhaps one of the IJN mini-subs from WWII? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fubar512 1,350 Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) looks like there is a mini-sub in there too. Perhaps one of the IJN mini-subs from WWII? Two, actually. The aformentioned SeaHund, and a Japanese Kaiten. Now, here's a hint as to the class of the "big boat": Edited October 28, 2009 by Fubar512 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fubar512 1,350 Posted October 28, 2009 Gar class? EEEEEHHHHHH! Wrong......Another hint, it's the Portugese spelling (and pronunciation) of a popular bait fish here in the 'States, whose last sylable is 'Hoo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wrong......Another hint, it's the Portugese spelling (and pronunciation) of a popular bait fish here in the 'States, whose last sylable is 'Hoo. Wahoo? obviously not that particular boat, but of that class? Edited October 28, 2009 by Typhoid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fubar512 1,350 Posted October 28, 2009 Wahoo? obviously not that particular boat, but of that class? Ha ha...gotcha! Not even close, a Wahoo is a game fish. An icthyologist would call it an "Agujeta Brasilera".....the class name, is again, the Portugese pronunciation of the bait fish's popular name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Typhoid 231 Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) I translate that as ballyhoo, but cannot find any subs that come close other than Silversides or Flying Fish. And it can't be Flying Fish because that was scrapped. So if its not Silversides, I'm stumped. Uncle..... Edited October 28, 2009 by Typhoid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fubar512 1,350 Posted October 28, 2009 This boat's designation is SS-297. It's a "285 class" boat.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Typhoid 231 Posted October 28, 2009 Interesting. I looked at the Ling but didn't think it matched. Angles can play tricks on you. http://www.navsource.org/archives/08/0829711.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
