 | Weekly Quiz Number 13 - Aircraft Carriers Especially for those with salt in their blood! Not being able to give this Quiz an overall difficulty rating, one has been given to each question. Your comments on this feature will be appreciated. Quiz Number 13  Don't bang heads too vigourously when doing this one! Cheers, Gerry |

 | I guessed my way up to 70% (would have been 50%). The grading is a good idea, but I suppose one man's difficult question is anothers easy (I knew the Vampire answer because of my interest in the air war in the far east - let's see how many others know) Cheers Gerry, another great quiz.

 | Thanks Gerry - 80%: I guessed wrong at where the Ark Royal was built and which landing the Illustrious was not at.

 | 60% Only by sheer chance having been able to make an intelligent answer to just two questions. Keep 'em coming Gerry.

| 60% some I had to guess and others were by a process of elimination. Look forward to more Gerry.

| 60%. No idea what the correct answers were to the ones I got wrong though. Only knew the HMAS Vampire question (she went down with HMS H.....) cos i was watching it on Shipwreck Detectives today. And the british carriers as well. Other than that Gerry, nice and evil as always |

| Your Score is: 90% - You are near the top of the ladder. I shot too quick with Lexington instead of Hornet (Question 6) Was lucky that many questions had Aussie connections or Pacific based.
