Would love to see what you all have as references for Fletcher class destroyers. Any ship, any timeframe, any size. I am redrawing the current version that's in the archive since it's out of scale by a good 10 feet.

Specifically seeking references for the 21" quintuple torpedo tubes.

Oslo class!?! use the same hull as a Fletcher class just a bit taller in the bow.

Erm I believe the Oslo uses the same hull as the Dealey, not the Fletcher. Though I could be wrong.

Identical except for the blast shield.

From the manual - http://www.hnsa.org/doc/destroyer/ddtubes/index.htm

Dimensions to the hundredth of an inch are towards the end!

HNSA also has general plans of the Sigsbee - http://www.hnsa.org/doc/plans/dd502.pdf

There's a book out for the USS Cassin Young (DD-793). Or, at least, there was years ago when I visited Boston. The old Charlestown Navy Yard is where the USS Constitution is berthed. The USS Cassin Young (DD-793) is berthed across the pier from her.
