If I missed this one I would have been very embarrassed. Got it😁

I checked on the Internet and they vote for the Soryu class from Japan.

Before that I thought the Kilo class was the best.

Thanks Dad, I remembered that one. You can remove your foot from my ass now. 😂😂😂

The Chinese are the world leader in diesel electric craft (SSK). They have 9 SSN's (Nuclear powered attack) and 7 SSBN's (Nuclear Ballistic missile). They also routinely purchase older Russian subs.

Hi the site I picked on said Submarines used in defence. Which is what all countries would claim! You would hardly expect them to say they were for attacking purposes. There are a lot around Korea and the Sea of Japant.

I would presume that as there are very few professional submarines, that was what the question was about..

I did see one operating in the Canary Islands it was bright yellow and descended to about 50 feet or so to look at the fishes! At the time it was £40 a trip and that was about 12 years ago.

You can of course buy one it is a bit at the high end of extravagant though.

But Hey! for all I know you might be a billionaire slumming it!

Is this military submarines or all types including exploration and other types of submersibles. What is the definition of a submarine - something that can travel beneath water?

I guessed China but I followed up with checking the top 10 0n the Internet. It is quite an eye opener!
Roy

I can't believe I gagged on this one. My late father, a Navy lifer, would have booted me in the ass! 😂

Wow, I have just jumped up a notch. Lucky the English Channel wasn't on there.🤣🤣Well I'm not really that daft.

Got it today!! My average was slipping.

jumpugly,
Or as me dear ole Mum (RIP) liked to say-
"Splice the mainbrace and lower the poop deck!"
G'night all😎💤💤💤💤💤

Strictly speaking Dead Reckoning (nor any of the other options) does not plot 'a course'.
Rather it plots the estimated position at the time of the calculation.
The 'course' you have steered is the compass heading you have followed.
"Lay in a course Ensign Ro. Warp 9. ENGAGE"
😁😎

And got it right...right in the middle of a brutal storm here in Connecticut. But, still have electric to get online and (thankfully) to keep the sump pumps going. Batten down the hatches, prime the bilge pumps, and damn the torpedoes. I'm going to have to "coil up my ropes and anchor here until better weather doth appear." 😉

Have another wee dram, and it might auto correct the navigation, that is if you can find the right bottle.

I used it as well Doogle, to get to the kitchen. Ended up in the garage so will continue to use GPS from now on.😀

I used dead reckoning to plot the course back to the kitchen for another cuppa 😊

Yes Doug,
But you were, no doubt, dead on....😁

Another deja vu!
😎

I don't remember the 'light' bit either, which is why I wrote my bit about light.

Roy

I don't believe that was the wording when I read the question early this morning. Has it been reworded or am I dreaming?!!!

In the question it says down wind in light winds 😂

After a dry spell, I seem to be back in the black...for now.

I certainly wouldn't chose to use a spinnaker unless the wind and wave conditions were favourable. If the wind is strong and variable the spinnaker could destabilise the yacht.

Mind you, with the new racing foil boats, the spinnaker would give an enormous lift onto the foils which would stablise the boat, but I have to agree with the other comments that I would not use a spinnaker to stabalise the boat unless it was a reasonable wind with a swell, when the spinnaker can assist in stablising.

I agree with singing... with a spinnaker up the yacht is vulnerable to small changes in wind direction and it is mainly for light winds only.

I anticipated the wrong answer and was marked as correct

As my score descends even lower, life is getting confusing. I hope we do not get fake questions as well!

Roy

I always think of Brown on Resolution a lesser known work of CS Forrester. Good read though.
Roy

Hi All, bit late replying here, but I’ll swap yesterdays answer to Endeavor later today or tomorrow (busy days at the moment!) so you’ll be honoured with the point for the 15th once I get around to it 👍

Stephen

As for yesterdays question, I missed the point when the question said "Captain Cook" He only captained one vessel and I got it wrong.

I went for Endeavour.
So this also makes Wikipedia wrong.
I had thought that Cook went on the Endeavour from history at school.
I have just Googled it and this is Wikipedia's answer.
"The first voyage of James Cook was a combined Royal Navy and Royal Society expedition to the south Pacific Ocean aboard HMS Endeavour, from 1768 to 1771"
So is the south Pacific Ocean Not the same Ocean?? surely it's all one Ocean 🤔

You are right Nickthesteam, so was I. It was Endeavor

Fat thumbs! Went for Endeavour and hit Resolution instead....

Morning all why does everyone knock the question of the day it's a bit of fun that gets you all talking, I bet the guy who does questions must get cheesed of no thanks just moaning🤣🤣🤣.
I have leant a lot buy of you lot and question of the day 😎.
Let's have bit of good cheer👍

Caught me out on that one. 😂😂

Struggling this week. Mightily! 🤔😜😮

I’m with Austin on that. My knowledge of Captain Cook is limited, but I had heard of the Endeavor, so that’s the one I chose.

The Endeavour was first used. Question only partially correct.

I am total agreement with Chum444. The question did not specify which voyage, so there were two correct answers. 😝

Think I will pass on future participation.To the rest of the players, good luck with the quizzes.☀️
By the way, no disrespect toward the author(s) of the questions. The person(s) has/have a pretty much thankless task.

En Munich
I had the Same wat of thinking weich was fault 😩😩😩😩😩

Had the red and the blue transposed in my mind; i.e. blue square in the centre of a red frame!
Seems the correct response to the described flag would be to 'Render medical assistance' and call the Coastguard for a doctor.
Flag in the pic (W - Whiskey) flown alone signifies 'Require Medical Assistance', as shown in the table Mike posted. So nowt to do with diving!?🙄
One lives and learns😉
😎
PS Designer of the W flag musta bin Irish, a Bushmills fan perhaps?😋

Whiskey, Echo, Lima, Lima / Delta, Oscar, November, Echo / Mike, India, Kilo, Echo. 😉
BRAVO ZULU👍

😁😎

Here is the answer, see for yourself which letters they are!
Best wishes . . .

👍😂😂😂😂 😇

My question to you all:
Who can understand that? Morse code with flags . . . .
Solution follows
my 🎁 to you . . 😁
PS: Quality of the images corresponds to the searched word . . 😁

Hi Doug that is the answer I gave, more in hope than anything else. Afterwards I checked on the Internet and that did not help either.
Roy

Welcome aboard TD👍

😎

I'm with you on this Doug. 🤣

Hmm!
Another deja vu 🙄
I recall we already had this debate about a year ago.
Stephen did warn us, when he made changes to the question selection, that we may see some repeats.
Can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday but a year ago ...
IMHO the correct answer here would be 'A'. The flag described does not appear to exist.

Nickthestream got it right.
Just another question with an inapplicable answer!

Had it, then changed my mind. Dammit!

Now I have clicked on what I thought was the answer I am even more confused.😂
