Shipbucket

Not much to say about the lack of detail other than the only drawings I could find for this ship are not at all detailed. I've added the drawing I worked off of. If anyone has any more information I would be grateful if you could either post it PM it to me or point me to the web page.
Not sure of the 40mm mount by the fore funnel. But I can't make out what the heck is there!

The 40mm mount by the fore funnel appears to be a director on a mount in the drawing.

Is that drawing from Grove's book?

What a fine ship!

From the book drawing it does appear that the helo deck is a little larger than you've allowed, and I'm not sure about the change in deck level that you have by the midships 3inch mount.

My copy shows no drop in the deck on the 3 inch, it's level all the way along.

Also, the deck is flat up until forwards of the forwards superstructure, then goes up sharply.

And yeah the helo deck is longer.

(I found my copy )

OK
can you please let me know which book by Grove we are talking about. As I said could anyone please let me know if they had better drawings and if so where.
So stop criticising and start posting!!!!
Re the 40mm mount, was wondering but wasn't sure as that would make 5 MRS 3 directors not the 4 listed.

The picture comes from Vanguard to Trident by Eric Grove. I have no scanner I'm afraid, but I have the book

And we're only criticising to make the drawing better

Barnest2. Perfect answer to the question about what book. Now I know, I can get it and see what you see.
Thank you. If you enlarge the picture I have to the scale required you see it gets V fuzzy around the areas you pointed out.

Well Meeware and Barnest2
Have taken on your comments from your posts, will leave the 40mm mount until I can get a good picture of the area so I can figure out what is there.

It is certainly a fire-Control to that twin 3" mark 6 DP gun

for what I see is a Fire-control and ventilation opening right behind it.

Sorry if the comments weren't helpful. I don't have the book, but have read it before and remember this as being a very exciting vessel (and part inspiration for my commando cruiser efforts), and all I'm doing is contributing my intepretation of Groves style of diagram.

However, may I ask what the Shipbucket policy is on such Never Builts? Is the intention to capture most closely the essence of any published diagram, or to interpret any and all sources in order to produce as realistic as possible a representation of what such a vessel would have been like had it entered service?
