I was having the most difficult time IDing some of those ships, pointing that out makes it too easy.

No. I don't think I would have gotten the ship.

Permit me to say that this thread turned out a lot better than I had hoped. Some great pictures ad some wonderfully knowledgeable people.

This one should be easy: a very famous event.
