    Is it a Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk armed with a AIM-92 Stinger?

    Careful, there's facetiousness dripping all the way down to this post.

    And no, it isn't. Come, on. Focus, people.

    AGM-87 Focus. Ground attack missile based on the AIM-9 Sidewinder.

    Correct. I've not found out much about it, except that they tried it out in the late sixties, and even had field trials in Vietnam. It worked well, especially against vehicles at night. I assume the reason it was not widely used, was cost. Can't be much bang for the buck by using a basically a Sidewinder to blow up a truck.

    You're up, Jagdpanzer.

    Opel Blitz truck with Imbert wood gas generator (or gasifier). The colour is dark grey btw. It´s a truck which runs on wood or char coal.

    Your turn, Markas.

    Gentlemen, I would like the class, name and notable event this ship was involved in.

    Clue time I guess- The ship class and name are the same, being the lead ship, and it is a Royal Navy ship.

    I did do an extensive search after this came up, but I quickly left England after scouring the Light Cruisers, and browsing the destroyers. The closest matching 3-stack I could find was the SMS Emden, but it was no cigar. Now I went back to British Cruisers and found the Scout Cruiser classes. Finally found HMS Pathfinder, lead ship of the Pathfinder class, and first ship to be sunk by a torpedo.

    Correct! The first ship to be sunk by an enemy torpedo in war time.

    Yes, or the M1848 fascine knife(Faskinkniv) used by the infantry. Apparently only the markings/stampings will tell them apart.

    Can someone rep Spear Dog?

    clue: only about 1 degree of separation between this pistol and the Khyber Pass pistol I posted a few months back.
