Shipbucket

I'm starting out with a long line of planned Canadian Coast Guard Ships. Starting off is the CCGS Louis S. St-Laurent in her present configuration. This is the ship that the CCGS John G. Diefenbaker (if built) is intended to replace. Other than the CCGS Terry Fox (Thanks to Lazer_One), this ship is the only other heavy icebreaker in the Canadian Government Fleet.



I am planning on drawing an 'as built' version of the Louis S. St-Laurent before moving on to other ships.

im going to like this thread. i wish there was more cooperation between the USCG and CCG on ship building.

Good work. Looking forward to see more.

Very nice one sailor 82, but the Maple Leaf on the funnel looks a bit awkward. you can find a better one Here

Made some minor changes to the first drawing.

Below is the Louis S. St-Laurent prior to her 1988 mid-life upgrade.



Thanks for your comments gents!

@Novice - getting the maple leaf just right is getting to be real challenge.

I know the one on the link mentioned is not perfect, but is the best I could find IMHO.
Anyway lovely drawings and I believe this thread is going to be a successful one.
