  1. A beautiful model Brian! BRAVO ZULU! Engage was my first ship of a 20 year career, and I agree with you. You're first is always the best. I went aboard in 1959 and she was my home for two years. She was in the "as built" configuration with a 40mm Bofors forward, a motor whaleboat, and a shorter forward superstructure. We were never towed or piggy backed anywhere and I made one Westpac cruise - 29 days from Long Beach to Yokosuka - with fuel deck loaded in drums. Rode out one Typhoon and countless lesser storms. Still love that ship! I build model ships and have been contemplating a scratch mode of he for a while. (there are no kit options) and I intend to use use your blog as a guide. Thanks and the best of fortune to you. J. F. Boyte SCPO USN ret.
