Is that twin in-line screws?
I realize that this probably is out of the scope of this forum, but does anyone have a profile drawing of the Talbot County class LST? It doesn't matter which of the ships it depicts or what timeframe, anything will be useful, even drawings of the AVB-2 will be welcomed with open arms. It doesn't matter how bad the quality is or how dubious its origin or accuracy is. I'll take anything.
If you fit them with pindles for a 20mm MG or similar they could double as guard boats which would be handy in a war scenario.
Finally got around to updating this drawing.
Quoted Originally posted by Hood Snip Well, from the perspective of someone whose job is still influenced by the sinking, I will say that the Titanic has had a tremendous amount of long term influence starting with the foundation of SOLAS and from there the IMO.
You seriously need to find a different picture host. That site made my anti virus light up like a Christmas tree on fire
I don't really consider it a shame when Sea Shepherds get their heads bashed. As for the "ramming" nobody really knows what happened, but based on what I've seen of their navigational "skills" and seamanship I'm surprised they even made it to the Southern Hemisphere in the first place. (LEt's just say that watching the Steve Irwing trying to moor in Algeciras was fun so long as you didn't have to pay for the damages. Seriously, these people have no idea about what they're doing, are a danger to ...

Quoted Originally posted by BruceDuncan Quoted Originally posted by Brockpaine [SIZE=3]High Speed Patrol Torpedo Vessel[/SIZE] Machinery: 2 Clerget 14G marine diesel radial engines, both of 850hp; plus 1 geared Indret steam turbine; two shafts Speed: 20.5 knots (diesel only); 33.2 knots (steam and diesel, sprint speed) My chief concern is the application of a mixed powerplant to such a small vessel - the practicality of having two sets of fuel tanks - one for diesel oil and the other for bunker...
There's also the mother of all diesel ships the Selandia. 1800hp and no funnel to speak off.
Thank you, I'm quite talen with her myself. Once I've finished all the fiddely bits (Boxes for ready ammunition, firefighting equipment etc) I'll work out how she will be upgraded through her life.
I decided to go the other way and replace the B mount with a shielded one. It should reduce any topweight issues. She has also received her full complement of torpedoes. The 6in guns are Bofors 152mm/50 M1912
Time for something a bit more substantial. It's not quite finished yet, so I'd like some feedback. I'm trying to decide if the B mount is too much. The alternatives are either replacing it with a shielded gun, or replacing the two twin 3inchers on the beams with shielded mounts and putting a twin 3in in the B spot.
Well, I finished my previous post.
Words can't describe the loathing I feel for Lars E Rohdes 'Hvis det var nemt havde de sendt nogle andre' (If it was easy they would have sent someone else) It's supposed to be a postscript for the RDN submarine arm, but the plot is so farfetchet and the author's understanding of sub combat is so poor it ends up as a farce. The plot centers around a Libyan attempt at attacking Israel with chemical weapons. In order to maximize the attacks effectiveness they need accurate weather data, and this i...
Quoted Originally posted by RMSCANADA Eco-Friendliness 1. Use biodiesel to power engines rather than oil - much cleaner. No it's not. Contrary to popular belief Bio-fuels doesn't burn any cleaner than regular fuel. It has a lower sulphur content than most marine diesel, but that's a production choice rather than an inherent feature of marine diesel.
Quoted Originally posted by Commodore Green Quoted Originally posted by Brockpaine Nice. Though - did she ram something? Looks like there's a chunk out of her bow. Torpedo tube....... Yes. It has a single torpedo tube mounted on the centerline
And here she is in all her glory, the last VTE powered torpedo boat in this RDN. I'll post some more information about the class once I get around to putting it in writing. I'll also need to change a couple of details in the SS report to reflect some of the changes I've made.
The springsharp sketch would be nice as well. Gives me something to work with as a base
