Please keep up the good work, and I very much look forward to seeing the rest of the class

Once again, WELL DONE

I have just completed the final 4 tenders! Cicala, Cricket, Gnat, and Ladybird are now all on the first page.
All 7 of these little ships are now definitely my #1 Favorite Ship (and class, for that matter), beating out even the BB-35 Texas!

Now I'm off searching for the modern day Insect Class. I've already done the Scan Scarab and I have found the ex-Cockchafer Fyne Spirit (which is almost too ugly for me to draw ), the Bee (which is still named Bee) and the ex-Cicala St. Cicala, so those three are on my list.

Thank you for all the comments!

With many thanks to Adenandy, all of the ships have been updated with their respective Coat of Arms!

Up next, I plan on drawing the RMAS' 79' Fleet Tenders, including the Aberdovey Class, the Clovelly Class, the Dive Tenders, the Loyal Class, and the Manly Class.

Ezgo
I believe it's HMS Cicada, not Cicala.
I have Green Grocers singing outside my window at present, noisy beggars!

Hi Rusel,
Thank you for your input, but it is in fact Cicala. It is still called Cicala today, albeit with a prefix of 'St.'

These are great illustrations. What did these ships do? They
look like U.S. Coast Guard (Marker) Buoy Tenders, but the title
Fleet Tenders may mean something else entirely.

Hi, Signal
These ships were essentially larger versions of a ship's tender. The Scarab was purpose built differently for it's role as a buoy tender, but the other 6 ships were used to ferry out stores, armaments, and even people out to ships anchored in the harbor. As far as I know, the Ladybird and the Cicala were Armaments carriers, and they had a strengthened hull to accommodate the fragile nature of their cargo. The other 4 ships left were probably mainly General Stores carriers (based on what I have not found).
The name fleet tender essentially replaces 'ship' with fleet (as in it doesn't serve a lone ship, but rather the whole fleet). That's what I have been able to gather.

Ah yes, cross ref'd using a US text, damn!
They spelled it Cicada because they thought the RN made a mistake.
