Here might be an interesting one.... What US warship class had a preliminary design scheme that, if built, would have ended up resembling the HMS Rodney?

Maybe your question (and mine) should have been put in the Naval Quiz thread. That seems to be running a little dry lately.

But it is an interesting question and I think it was supposed to be some sort of protected cruiser.

Maybe I should post it there too. I'll narrow the field down to BB. I know of no cruisers that would have ended up like that.

Since the powder magazines are in that exact area, why didn't the ship blow up like the Arizona did?

I have not seen any answer in writing, BUT the answer I'm looking for is based upon DIRECT testimony from one of my co-workers who was a Marine on board and manning his 40 mm mount at the time.

Not to be picky, but wasn't the Arizona hit by an armor piercing bomb that set off her magazine? Wasn't the Arizona covered by the USS Vestal?

G3 Class (Cherry Tree Class: so named as it was cut down by Washington)

Good answer but I said U.S. warship.

What was the name of Sacagawea's husband?

I know this is far too simple, I just want to keep this thread going. It prompts various "emotions" in me such as "Now that's educational", "Who cares?", "Now THAT's funny", "What the heck is he talking about?", "That answer was right on the tip of my tongue", "With that info and two dollars I can buy a beer at the VFW hall" and finally "AHA! One I can finally answer without Google."

Toussaint Charbonneau, a French trapper.

Bit of a lad was Toussaint

Sacagawea and another Shoshone girl were eventually sold to a French Canadian trapper, Toussaint Charbonneau. He had been living with the Mandans for some time and married both of the girls in 1804
