Bruce,
No, not those either.

OK, one more hint. She was the only ship in the class to be converted to a carrier. The others were built to thier original configuration.

Bruce,

Yes, those are the two. The Shinano is the largest ship ever sunk by a submarine, by the USS Archerfish.

Your up!

CLK

CA - Heavy Cruiser
CB - Large Cruiser
CC - wait.. no CC! must be designator.... lol
CF - Flying Deck Cruiser

CLK

I totally forgot to add one.

OK, here goes. The Navy uses colors on its valves to identify what is in the pipes controlled by the valve.

Red - Firemain
Yellow - Fuel Oil

Every hand wheel onboard ship is painted a color. But, there is only one fluid that requires the piping to be painted as well. What is that fluid.

Every Pipe does get a label. But only one pipe is required to be painted the same color as its hand wheel.
