A most interesting and productive thread, and as one of the tortoises, I'm equally impressed by the speed with which you get these out :)

Which one is the most current? The one found on USN parts sheet represents the twin mount IIRC.

Thanks, Colosseum; I'm glad to hear that from one of the founding fathers of ShipBucket.

Meanwhile here is another subchaser (originally drawn by Cybermax) converted to a motor gunboat:

I really appreciate the drawings of less famous ships.
I read somewhere that these very small warships
were actually used to escort a slow convoy ( 9 Knots)
from New York to Halifax, during which it was
attacked by U-Boats.

Very handsome and well drawn series of small vessels. Great job you have done WhyMe and an eyeopener for all of us who often forget the small vessels importance :D
