    Correct. It's HMS Argus, the first flattop.

    Thanks. Next one is also a ship, but wasn't the first of anything. Since ships of the line look almost identical, I can accept the name of the class. The exact class, though.

    Aaand Brewester is correct! Technically Wagram could be considered to belong to the Océan-class, but the second generation was heavily modified, so it's usually perceived as a member of the Austerlitz-class. If all had gone well in Russia, those ships could have helped the British reacquaint themselves with the language of their Norman overlords, but alas! Treason, snow and a few other factors intervened...

    Brew, you've put that one here already. And I remember it because it took some digging until I found this exact photo.

    Deja vu. I really think this one was here before too.

    It looks like Tegetthoff class. I'm 100% sure that Viribus Unitis was posted here before due to her history. Not sure by whom though.

    Edit: for those interested, the previous one waas HMS Wellesley (1815), which served as training ship until 1940 when she earned the dubious distinction to be the only wooden ship of the line to be sunk by aerial attack.

    You've hit the right continent at least, but that's all. This one is bigger than any ship name Blanco Encalada.
