I served aboard Albany. You’ve done a very fine rendering of one God ugly ship.

Thanks for the memories.
how was it on the top deck, when the weather started to be "funny"
It was very harry! Once during heavy seas north of Norway, a shipmate and I went up there and tied ourselves to the guide lines for about 5 minutes ‘till we were caught and sent below. Imagine being that high up and taking twenty plus degree rolls!

Then you know what I mean. I was there for the yearly Nato wargames in the fall season.

I can't imagine anyone willingly going up there, I'll be honest!

And thank you for the feedback.

Albany: You should watch me in rough seas...'sea' how I roll.
Fuso: Seriously? You wanna challenge me on that?

I would say Fuso is a more stable ship, due to heavy weight far down, the pagoda mast is quite light, after what I understand it is just a thin shell structure giving weather protection
