The only ship to knock down a plane with a cargo boom

one little problem: the article says the ship was unarmed! if the drawing is of later base, the flag should be on the correct boom

Lovely story and a very fine drawing.
One remark is, and as Acelancelot said, if the ship was un-armed (as mentioned in the article), why did you draw her with guns?

True. I've updated the drawing. As far as I understand this incident happened before she was armed; and the drawing shows the later version.

Yes, very good, and it looks as though Alvama has competition

Really nice drawing are you going to do a regular Type C2 hull?

Isn't it already done? No man can compete with Alvama
Thanks for your comment though!

Merchant ships of the MARAD program are on my list. The ship you link to the Alcoa Cruiser was not a regular C-2, as she was shorter and was a private design realy that the MARAD took over.
