Very nice work! An interesting little class, with differing powerplants too. |

Very nice WhyMe. Please note that there were many variations on that ship, like propullsion machinery (like Hood mentioned), which made changes to the length of the ships, and the bridge structure was different in many ships, sometimes being higher. Australian Bangor class ships also were a little different. All in all, it's a very good drawing of a little known class of ships. |

Fantastic, the names does not sound very British but overall a very nice ship. I've been on a Australian version and I can see the similarities. |

Named after a town in Wales.

Hence the weird name!  Still it could have been the: 'Llanfairpwllgwungyll' class. |

Ah ok make sense now If it was called that, I think the crew would have to be fluent in Welsh! |

Please be careful - The Australian Bathurst Class mine sweepers were not an Australian version of the Bangor Class: A good look at the plans of both classes will show considerable differences between the two. There is an article online which investigates this topic: http://www.navyhistory.org.au/bathurst- ... corvettes/ |
