lmagna Posted August 23, 2020 Share #217 Posted August 23, 2020 Nice addition to the fleet. If you add too many more from assorted countries you wil be able to stage your very own atom bomb test site. Using ships from all over the world they had the biggest fleet in the world at the time. I would be in for a tour as well. It would be nice to see all of your works in person rather than through he eye of a camera. Is the York your next build? I am somewhat more familiar with the Exeter due to her actions in the early days of WWII against both the Germans and the Japanese at the River Plate and Java Sea. I always thought the York class cruisers bore a striking resemblance to the Renown class battle cruisers.

shipman Posted November 19, 2021 Share #229 Posted November 19, 2021 The Russian forum is a mine of photographs for ships of the iron and steel era. Copy the forum home page, open it with google and check 'translate this page', bookmark it, thereafter all future visits via that will be in English. There's stuff there I've never seen elsewhere.
