Here is an update of the River class OPV. It's a four ship class but only Mersey, Severn and Tyne were built to this configuration replacing the Island class. What is interesting about this class is that the Royal Navy does not own these vessels, rather they are chartered from Vosper Thornycroft as a cost saving measure.



HMS Clyde was modified for duties in the Falkland Islands replacing the Castle class.

Very nice Sailor

Very very nice one more to cross of my WIP list.

Any chance of the versions fro Trinidad & Tobago/Brazil?

Nice work. Clyde's mods look good.

Thanks! I am planning on doing the Port of Spain class OPVs. I'm collecting reference material on that now. Three were built for the the Trinidad and Tobago Coast Guard, but that order was cancelled. Brazil purchased the three on January 2, 2012 for their navy and there is a possibility of 5 more being built.

Nice, but you'll want to turn of anti-aliasing in the text

Source Materiel is always welcome.

To say these are massively improved is an understatement. However, you need to redo your text to conform to the template: Arial 14-point/8-point, non-bold (so that the text width is just one pixel), non-aliased.

HMS Clyde has a 30mm gun not a 20mm.

Updated drawings ... Thanks guys!
