trippwj Posted March 29, 2013 Share #308 Posted March 29, 2013 Excellent point, Pav! From wikipedia: The basic unit is the Russian cubit, called arshin, which has been in use since the 16th century. It was standardized by Peter the Great in the 18th century to measure exactly twenty-eight English inches (71.1 cm). Thus, 80 vershoks = 20 piads = 5 arshins = 140 English inches. A piad (пядь, “palm”, “five”) or chetvert (че́тверть, “quarter”) is a hand span, the distance between ends of the spread thumb and index finger. avsjerome2003 1 Quote WayneNeither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.Epictetus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Haw Posted March 29, 2013 Share #309 Posted March 29, 2013 Pav, I love that this site keps forcing us to do research! I checked and up until 1924 the basic Russian unit of measurment was the arshin, which is the equivalent of 28 inches. So if the Akula is drawing eleven arshins that means there's almost 26 feet of her under water!

Patrick Haw Posted March 29, 2013 Share #311 Posted March 29, 2013 Are we agreed that it's the Akula, or do I have to wait for Spyglass to confirm before posting the next ship? Quote HMS Victory by Patrick Haw - Caldercraft - Scale: 1/72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted March 29, 2013 Share #312 Posted March 29, 2013 Akula (Russian: Акула - Shark) was a submarine built for the Imperial Russian Navy. The boat was designed by Ivan Bubnov and was an amalgam of the previous Minoga and the Kasatka class submarine designs. The design was presented to the Marine technical committee in late 1905. Initially the boat was to use petrol engines but these were replaced by safer diesels. The boat's design was a single hull/ saddle tank type with a diving depth of 25 fathoms (45 m). Significant initial problems were experienced and the electric motor and propellers which needed to be replaced. Akula was the first Russian submarine able to cruise long distances. In 1912 Akula made the world's first multi-torpedo volley with five torpedoes. She subsequently served in the Baltic Fleet during World War I making 16 patrols and unsuccessfully attacked the German battleship SMS Beowulf. She struck a mine and sank near Ventspils in November 1915 on her 17th patrol. Displacement: 370 long tons (380 t) surfaced 475 tons (471 m³) submerged Length: 56 m Beam: 3.7 m (12 ft 2 in) Draft: 3.4 m (11 ft 2 in) Propulsion: 3 shaft Diesel electric 3 diesel engines 1,900 hp (1.4 MW) 1 electric motor 300 hp (220 kW) Speed: 10.6 knots (19.6 km/h) surfaced 4.6 knots (9 km/h) submerged Range: 1,900 nautical miles (3,500 km) surfaced, 38 nmi (70 km) submerged Complement: 34 Armament: 4 x 18-inch (457 mm) torpedo tubes (bow) and 4 drop collars Quote Its all part of Kev's journey, bit like going to the dark side, but with the lights on All the best Kevin SAY NO TO PIRACY.

Patrick Haw Posted March 30, 2013 Share #314 Posted March 30, 2013 I'm not sure what to do. I'm leaving in about an hour for the weekend and won't be back until Monday afternoon and won't have Internet access while I'm gone. I don't want to hold up the game but if we don't get confirmation from Spyglass before I go I won't be able to post a new ship until Monday.

Anja Posted March 30, 2013 Share #315 Posted March 30, 2013 Hello Patrick, Rule number 4 in the game says: If the player whose turn it is has not replied in a fortnight, then the previous winner gets to post again. So It's not a problem, you won't hold up the game. Just go and enjoy the Easter weekend. We will see you when you get back. Maybe Spyglass is already enjoying his weekend as well. Take care, Anja Quote Those we loved but lost are no longer where they were, but are always where we are.
