I've always thought immunity to own guns was a rather poor way to define the usefulness of a ship. After all, one isn't firing at oneself....
I'm quite interested in seeing the situation started. Do we have new operational plans for the first phase of hostilities when they become...
The TROM! Doh! Why didn't I think of that? I was thinking it was something like "Torpedo Squadron Advance" but I couldn't remember and was having...
I seem to recall having seen the title of this motion picture once in the distant past, but I can no longer find it or any clues to lead the way....
Very nice work. Are the ammo boxes scratch built? Good sense of detail.
Thank you KJ. That was a fun little listen. Will have to study that a little more. Interesting.
Given that they're auxiliaries converted from merchant vessels, I wonder if they're not at last somewhat inconsistent as to materials. My thanks...
Valid point, Carronade.
I have nothing to go on but speculation and circumstantial evidence, but W 2 (W 1 class), W 9 (W 7 class), W 16 (W 13 class), W 22, and W 29 (W...
Beat me to the punch there, Carronade. Was looking at that the other day and got distracted. If indeed the Wa 1 is what you mean I will further...
The 12" 25,000 ton limit is interesting, though it gets pretty far into "what if" territory. I suspect more and earlier work on high-velocity...
I read this thread a few days back and a few things have stuck with me: notably the question of whether or not it was even feasible for Germany to...
Obviously there exists no "new" footage of WWII, and most folks will doubtless have seen most of these shots before. Some are quite famous. But...
I don't know. Dunkerque is a darned oddball design. Strassbourg was up-armored considerably, but if Conway is to be believed, Dunkerque was...
I believe I've found a PDF copy of agreement you described here: http://www.worldlii.org/int/other/LNTSer/1938/93.pdf I've been looking it over...
That last sight, the Valentin factory, appears to have been somewhat different to begin with. Unlike the pens in France or Norway, this one was...
I think perhaps you're being a bit over picky. By that definition there are no CVs either, only CVNs. In reality CA/Ls, CVEs, SSs, and even PTs...
Depends a little. For large scenes I shoot on a 6x8 table. For smaller ones, like above, a 17"x19" AV cart serves nicely. The background of the...
Here's a few new models of assorted Japanese merchants and auxiliaries (alongside a few older models.) Asama Maru [IMG] Hikawa Maru [IMG] Small...
Not sure what effect, if any, a bulbous bow has on a ships turning circle. I know they help to reduce hull drag. I believe they produce a waveform...
