Nice thread,since RHN AU also modified its Fletchers I am interested most in Taiwanese versions.

Thanks guys.

My plans are as always to draw the WWII versions first. Anything else will come afterwards.

The Taiwanese have only 4 Fletcher Class. They didn't receive conversions like the Gearing Class. Fletcher only have Hsiung Feng 1 , Sea Chaparral and Oto Melara 76/62 Gun as their upgrade plan.

Good drawings posted here. One obvious mistake is the DD-727 which is a Allen M Sumner class ship. Also missing is the Fletcher type like USS Pringle DD-477

Colo, does this mean we will be getting Square Bridge Fletchers? Or are we getting a remade round bridge and the square bridge?

Well my MO is to draw the ship in its earliest possible format and then to work my way up through as many wartime refits as I can find information on (see CL-51 Atlanta thread for example of how I work). In my opinion just drawing the ship as it appeared in one year without showing the full evolution is a bit lazy.

So yes I would like to do the square-bridge Fletchers as well as redrawn Sumner and Gearing classes. Post-war refits might happen but I am very busy lately so it's no promise!

*shrugs* that strikes me as the most logical way to do things.

When you do get around to the latter square bridge Fletchers, please do one of them as USS Cassin Young (DD-793) if at all possible.

I will do my best to render as many different ships as I can do without going nuts -- I drove myself a little crazy and lost some brain cells on the later Atlantas...

Plus I am quite busy with school as this is midterm season for us here.
