Royal Hellenic Navy Armored Cruiser Georgios Averoff - by MegaMoonLiner


Photobucket

Every time my friend MegaMoonLiner launches a new model, he kindly let me know about it and I really appreciate it. Thanks, MegaMoonLiner! Georgios Averoff is a Greek warship which served as the flagship of the Royal Hellenic Navy during most of the first half of the 20th Century. Although popularly known as a battleship , it is in fact an armored cruiser, and one of a handful of such ships still in existence – the others being the protected cruisers Aurora and USS Olympia. - Wikipedia

Toda vez que meu amigo MegaMoonLiner lança um modelo, ele gentilmente me avisa e eu realmente aprecio isto. Muito obrigado, MegaMoonLiner! Georgios Averoff é um navio encouraçado grego, que serviu sob a bandeira da Marinha Real Helênica durante a primeira metade do Século XX. Embora seja conhecido como um "navio de guerra", na verdade ele é um cruzador blindado e é um dos poucos de sua classe ainda existentes, juntamente com os cruzadores de escolta Aurora e USS Olympia. - Wikipedia

The Real Thing
Hōshō was the world's first commissioned ship that was designed and built as an aircraft carrier, and the first aircraft carrier of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN). Commissioned in 1922, the ship was used for testing carrier aircraft operations equipment, techniques, such as take-offs and landings, and carrier aircraft operational methods and tactics. The ship provided valuable lessons and experience for the IJN in early carrier air operations. Hōshō's superstructure and other obstructions to the flight deck were removed in 1924 on the advice of experienced aircrews. During World War II Hōshō participated in the Battle of Midway in June 1942 in a secondary role. After the battle, the carrier resumed her training role in Japanese home waters for the duration of the conflict and survived the war with only minor damage from air attacks. She was used as a repatriation transport after the war, making nine trips to bring some 40,000 Japanese soldiers and civilians to Japan from overseas locations. Hōshō was scrapped in Japan beginning in 1946. red more at Wikipedia
