Name This Mystery Ship XXIX: Yes, Really.

While I'm working on the Ben-To! writeup, here's a little brainteaser for ya.  Heh.  I got no hints for ya...

There ya go.  Yep, I'm a bastitch... granted. 

CXT, FDM, y'know the rules: you don't get to play for a while.  Everybody else, have at it.  Remember, no imagesearch... you're a poopiehead if you use an image searching app or anything like that.

UPDATE: Okay, CTX, FDM... you're let off the leash.

1 Is that USS Canopus?

2 It isn't, but I completely understand the logic behind the guess.

3 USS New Orleans?

4 Also an appropriate guess.  Also not the USS New Orleans.

5 Looks like it should be named HMS Dunsinane. Or maybe USS Druid Hills.

Ent Cruise Lines. The slowest way to travel!

6 The Knights who say "Ni!" apparently survived into the 20th century, and have extracted quite a toll in shrubbery over the centuries....

7 I guess they didn't disguise Canopus with greenery. They disguised it with smudge pots and the like.

8 They also disguised it with sinking.

Sort of.

I would guess the pic above is some kind of light cruiser used for coastal defense, and that's as far as I can go.

Not very far, I know.

9 HNLMS Abraham Crijnssen.  In the early months of the Pacific war, she escaped from Soerabaja to Australia by posing as the above pictured island and moving only at night.
