Boats - On the
Grenadier class design somebody had asked about the boat being shipped on there, and I mentioned in passing that
I left the boats on there as it is a tradition to have at least some ships boats on cruiser sized and up vessels. Like most traditions, it sometimes flies in the face of common sense, but thats how we do things...
Its just one of those things that I want to stick with.
Any suggestions on what could be put on the funnel, or just lose that position altogether?
The wires that run to the fantail... I had considered explaining those away by saying "The single catapult is offset to port, and only launches to port", but that sounded weird even to me. I was looking at the Wichita and just saw how they solved the problem, by having the wires higher on the staff astern of the crane. I'll just have to add an ensign staff I guess.
Looking at it, I can see a few spots where I can add some more 20's midships. Fixed the forward 40mm.
Still not sure about the raked funnels. I honestly think the straight ones look better. But thats just me.
