Hmm, I am not sure - this effort kind of wore me out of drawing ships for a little while. ;) I had started on the USS North Carolina but just lost steam.

I hope to add some traditional 4.5in Mk.VI armed Super Darings later on.

So far as I am aware, this has never been in the slightest dispute in any source of any worth. Agree! The 5"/54 Mk.16 was designe...

The British, after to collapse of Singapore, invasion of Burma, and the Ceylon Raid by IJN carriers, retained a small force of ships based at then 'secret' base, Diego Garcia. This Eas...

Very good rendition, for given shortages of the 3.9" (100mm) Type 98 twin mounts, in large part due to demand for them on the "Akizuki" class fleet destroyers [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akizuki-class_destroyer_(1942)] intended to escort carriers & battleships, its a likely outcome in at least the...
