Excellent rendition, WhyMe! It reminds me that this fledgling navy was actually organized and trained by the later so ill-fated Russian Lt Commander Zinovy Petrovich Rozhdestvensky (1848-1909). This was the man, who as a Vice-Admiral led the 2nd and 3rd Pacific Squadrons (essentially the entire Baltic Fleet) to the most disastrous defeat any naval cohort ever had the indignity to suffer, at Tsushima, May 27-28, 1905. So, the Bulgarian navy has a rather odd beginning... |

A very good rendition of an obscure naval ship, Bulgaria is often overlooked in any naval forum. Thumbs-up mate. |

Perfection as usual. A really pretty looking little antique. I love the way you draw the little-known and small-nation ships. Real little gems that have as much a place in SB as the usual big name ships we all know and love. |

I love the way you draw the little-known and small-nation ships. Thank you, I'm glad it doesn't go unnoticed and I hope this won't interfere with your and others ability to judge my works. Because nothing and nobody is prefect and I always (try to) welcome critique and suggestions.
