Now I am puzzled. # 2954 looks like Kaga, but Wikepedia identifies # 2941 as Akagi.

Don't argue with the quiz-master, Whatever he says will be the correct answer.

#2878...... going back a way.......

The item depicted was a "sighting-mark"......used in transits to begin/end a timed run by a ship on sea-trials.

Now as redundant as the rest of us......they are still to be seen along the coastline of Scotland.

Yes, saw that that and assumed it was an old derelict lead mark somewhere. I could not work out a connection to #2877 so I left it.

.. the referee is the “arbiter of all fact “
If you disagreed, leave the pitch, but be sure to apologise to the referee!
