Renewing the old parts sheets

I was under impression that heuhen was going to make the crane sheet.
Also I'm not doing anything when ordered anyway

Please do so.

Done (might need refreshing).

How about adding this one from my L&C class.

Found out that it was best to have them on two part sheets. As it would be quite garbled if I had it on a sheet.

The RN chaff launchers did not look right to me. This is my attempt at the Corvus chaff launchers as used on the leanders, Type 21, Type 22 and Type 42 ...

I originally thought this would have been an early VLS system, but the Iroquois carried an even more interesting design then I thought.

Quote:

Basically the quad launcher is a tubular beam with four launch rails mounted side-by-side on it. The center of this beam is attached to an extending arm by a pivot joint. In action, the door on the side of the deckhouse slides down and the arm extends outward (the ship's side is sealed up again while the launcher is extended). The beam can then train and elevate the missiles toward the target.

Quote:

The system was expensive and complicated, required a lot of maintenance.
Tha advantage over the octuple launcher was 360 degree coverage. If the octuple launcher was mounted forward or aft you had a 60 to 90 degree blind spot aft or forward. Early seasparrows had a very small turn capability, by launching from the sides, outboard, you got 360 degree coverage. Newer seasparrows have a much larger turn capability which made the system obsolete.
The hatches in the side are blow out hatches for an accidental ignition of a seasparrow. They were clampted securly in place and would not move if ignition occured in the magazine.

the early seasparrow was in fact the RIM-7E. when the NSSM came around, with an much better turning capabilty, this system had lost it's use. it is unknown if newer missiles were ever fired from it, but we all know that the system was removed in the TRUMP rebuild.

thanks TimothyC for helping me out with the research for this thing.
I hope some of the more serious AU designers find their way to this interesting system, IMO it is a shame only 4 ships ever sailed with it. (ok, it was complicated, heavy and expensive, but still, it was AWESOME!)

Since there are not many good drawings of RHIB as it was said in one of the post here in the forum. TGen me a pair. RHIB from 6 meters and up to 10 meters. They are all personal design, but they have similarities with most RHIB, so it needs only small changes from your side to make it look like the type RHIB that the ship you draw use.

I shall also take and upgrade plans of the "Norsafe" lifeboats and RHIB, plus I will soon take and draw one of the other Norwegian company that builds lifeboat here in Norway.

The Contraves Denezy gunnery fire control radar.
In Danish service it was known as the Ildledelsesanlæg M/64 and not M-46 as it's claimed in The Naval Institute guide to world naval weapons systems, 1997-1998. It was used on the Peder Skram class frigate and the Falster Class minelayers.
The CGS-1 designation may be the Danish name for the radar itself.
It was the first full naval FCS developed by Contraves and it's presumably related to the land based Fledermaus FCS.
It's known to be compatible with the Bofors 40mm/70, the 5"/38 and the 3"/50.

Target acquisition can be done automatically via cueing from the search radar or manually via the 12in TV camera mounted on the left side of the radar or via the associated sighting post (The one beneath the radar)

Really nice, really nice. I also spotted you redoing the 2x105mm/65 AA gun mount? have you redone other kriegsmarine weapons as well? Could be nice to have them posted
