Shipbucket

klagldsf hi a few points of explanation. I cant see why you cant swap her for Iron Duke. after all japan kept a Knogo class in the same category.
After the treaty's had expired ? 36/37
Yes I would (with hindsight) but NO we don't need to we are swapping for Iron Duke.
agreed that's why it wasn't done until to late but money was wasted on other things less implausible than a cheap tiger rebuild.

Thanks JSB

OK my final 1928 HMS Tiger


Well till you tell me of all my mistakes !
Thanks JSB

Very pretty!
I love how the Tiger on the CoA looks completly terrified.

I'll reckon that's why the HMS Tiger commisioned 1959 get a brand new badge

My next 2-

As a gunnery ship (disarmed by the LNT).


and rearmed in 1939.


what do you think ? any comments welcomed, I have never 'finished a shipbucket drawing before so at what stage are they finished acceptably (do I need more / changes etc ?).
Thanks JSB

Only one small (or major thing...) I realize that as a TS she has a reduced number of boilers, but to me, to remove the two forefunnels and then, when reactivating her for front-line service, restore those funnels, albeit in a trunked configuration. This is not to say that I disapprove of the trunked version. In fact it's pretty cool! But that's also why I think you should retain the three funnels in your TS configuration! You can always close-off smoke ducts and cover the smokestack, if not in use!

Yes I agree, but back in the thread (before all the deletions) people said I would have to remove at least one (unless I misunderstood ) so I removed them (kind of think it makes it more interesting and less perfect so I think I will keep unless strong objections ?).

Also not sure if I should have Hood in my credits as I cant remember why I added him (I think I added a queen ann's bridge credited him and then later went back and removed it for a more 'tiger' cheaper one) but not sure so haven't taken him off yet (how big can a 'part' be ? IE does the aircraft/catapult count (modified from Hood's Royal Oak)? ).

JSB

No, Sir. There's absolutely no need to remove - physically - one or several funnels! Mind you, neither the Centurion nor the Iron Duke had any modifications made concerning that, when they served as TSs! Just block off/seal the steampipe lines and fume exhaust trunks and put rain covers on the funnel tops on the funnels not in use!

Hi JSB, bezobrazov,

Plus, from what I understand, having read RP1's comparative study, the funnels in this era are actually used to damp the ship's roll - both in terms of lifting the CoG up and also providing a measure of aerodynamic braking to keep roll rates low.

o well will have to redo then (and not sure what happens to the rolling without the belt/turret etc ?).

my next final one HMS Tiger in 1945 on VJ day.


JSB

please keep pointing out any other stuff I need to change (and I have no idea about radars so just copied a set off Hoods HMS Malaya 45 do tell if I need to change ! may need to change rear mast to raise it up.)
