    Hi Pat

    I read your post on the Vampire......small world as I spent a few days on the Vampire in 1974 when I was deciding on whether to join the Navy. I was one of 50 "kids" who were wined and dined at the Officers training school at Jervis Bay for a couple of  weeks and were allowed on board for a couple of days out to sea. I recall we towed a large dummy craft which the boys in the Fleet Air Arm used as target practice from their jets....all very enjoyable. It was great that the RAN did not break her up and donated her to the Maritime museum in Sydney.

     

    By the way, after my very brief "stint" in the Navy I decided not to join and after a couple of years thumbing my way around Europe ended up in the financial services industry .....a long way from the sea!

     

    Cheers.........Fernando

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
