I was wondering if anyone has drawn the Fletcher, Allen M. Sumner and the Gearing classes as they appeared in FRAM II?

Some of them are floating around in the forum and the old Invision forum

To my knowledge, nobody has completed Leahy or Truxtun. No Bainbridge either, for that matter.

There is Belknap Class DLG somewhere,I think it can be converted to Leahy Class.I can provide the drawning of the Belknap if it is difficult to find.

I drew as many iterations of the Fletcher class as I could, and started on the Allen M. Sumner class before wearing myself out of drawing. Plus I was graduating college and moving to start my job so time was (and still is) limited.

Be advised that the Sumner/Gearing ships in the archive are INCORRECT and improperly scaled... so anyone doing a FRAM revision will probably need to start from the ground up. There's no telling when I'll have the time to do anything Shipbucket-related in the future, so the original configuration Sumner/Gearings may be a long way off. If people want to convert the Fletcher hull to the Sumner/Gearing configuration, just let me know and I'll try to provide the references and WIP drawings I have.

I drew the Belknap ages ago but I believe erik_t discovered that it was improperly scaled (being drawn from a Conway's illustration and not Friedman's destroyers). So again another drawing that will need to be reworked from the ground up.
