1936 Patrol Gunboat/Frigate

The ship is turning out quite impressive!

The ship is done, that was just an early war scheme to show off. A lot of Atlantic fleet vessels were painted in Measure 2

Would like to see that.

Keep in mind, that this is ultimately a rejected version.

If it's close enough to cast a shadow, I think the flying house wins initiative.

Bronies are like the Forsworn. Everyone agrees that they are a problem but nobody wants to expend the energy rooting them out.

"That is a very graphic analogy which aids understanding wonderfully while being, strictly speaking, wrong in every possible way."

While I like this design fine, I prefer Nighthunter's (No offence). But this could make a very fast and very awesome sloop if an aft mount was removed

There's no such thing as "nothing left to draw" If you can down 10 pints and draw, you're doing alright by my standards

No. 2 or No. 3 mount?

I prefer Nighthunter's version as well. A colonial sloop needs to be several things, but fast isn't one of them. That said, a good alternate version would have 6" guns. I actually did a Springsharp of what a treaty limited 2000 ton, 20 kt vessel could do, and ended up with a fine "Pocket Cruiser" of sorts with respectable protection.

Overall survivability and seakeeping ability:
Survivability (Non-critical penetrating hits needed to sink ship):

- Stern: 12.91 ft / 3.93 m
- Average freeboard: 13.94 ft / 4.25 m

Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 46.2 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 106.8 %
Waterplane Area: 8,080 Square feet or 751 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 170 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 59 lbs/sq ft or 286 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 0.90
- Longitudinal: 2.42
- Overall: 1.00
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is excellent
Room for accommodation and workspaces is adequate
Ship has slow, easy roll, a good, steady gun platform
Excellent seaboat, comfortable, can fire her guns in the heaviest weather

Even better results were achieved by reducing the four single 6" mounts to two twins.

Allright a Dutch one

Also this version could be posted at ''never were'' designs.

Very Nice ALVAMA, but it was supposed to be your own design
