Quiz: Mystery Ship (including Class)

[patroclus]

I have decided to withdraw the current Mystery Ship (too difficult to pick out identifying points in view of small size of image) and replace it with the following offering.

Name, please:

[patroclus]

She served in two navies.

[patroclus]

Her main armament:

[killerr]

Russian battleship Imperator Nikolai I, surrendered to the IJN at Tsushima, on 6 June 1905, she was taken into the Imperial Japanese Navy and renamed Iki, after Iki Island in the Sea of Japan, near site of the Battle of Tsushima. She served as a gunnery training ship until 12 December 1910 when she was redesignated as a first-class coast defense ship and a training vessel.[8]

It's a former USCG cutter of the "Hamilton" class. Due to being painted hazegrey I expect it to be either BRP Ramon Alcaraz (ex USCGC Dallas), BRP Gregorio del Pilar (ex USCGC Hamilton) or NNS Thunder (ex USCGC Chase). As there's neither flag nor hullnumber visible I can't say for sure which of these vessels is shown.

[killerr]

This vessel recently collided with a small ship owned by Total.

[killerr]

Lemesos u are firing in the right direct ion but nog close eñough .

There are a 'number' of ways to determine which one she is.

[lemesos]

Sorry mate, I'm lost.

They look like the German Type 520 Barbe class LCUs (presumably up the Rhine or Elbe, though I can't identify the bridge)

... and that's correct. The picture show's German 'Barbe' class LCUs cruising on the Rhine.

So name this ship from ww 1. Similar in origin to a ship that was the first of her kind in Ww2 . She served for some time in the navy before being commissioned into it. She experienced a probable first for her kind of ship.She started life in the hands of one of Britain's enemies and ended it in the service of another. In some ways she was not alone . But the ship she shared something with had little else in common.

A second ship in the Royal Navy she was almost an American and for a short period she was a member of the aristocracy. some Ionian sausages came off the menu to her advantage .She carried a seaplane Her successor still lives in London in part

Which ships are they?
What connects these two ships ?

The first ship could be the ANNE (ANNE RICKMERS).

Which war are we talking about in the second paragraph?

[John Brown]

The first ship is HMS Raven II which started life in German hands...commissioned into the Royal Navy ....and was sunk during WWII whilst in Japanese hands.

The second ship, I think, is HMS Anne (Aenne Rickmers). Apart from serving together on various operations the only thing I can think of that they shared was aircraft and crew members. HMS Anne had been damaged and Raven II took off her aircraft and some crew members at Mudros in WW1

A new challenge. Name and navy please.
