What I mean is that if you have some picture or drawing of some special radars, that might interest me, and some I can use in this AU. would draw them to a size that fits me for this AU... but if there are data on them to...

I like that destroyer/escort. I'm thinking the bottom two are updates of the original design?

The Trusher class Destroyer (escort)

Interesting looking little ship. I'm impressed by your work on the original timber bridge, looks much better than the later evolutions but that's just personal opinion.

Just one question, what kind of powerplant did you have in mind for these vessels? with their twin shafts also they would likely have also been somewhat more costly to produce machinery wise than a simple single screw adaptation of a trawler or such design which by necessity would be basic and spartan in design. Like it or not these ships were built to be expendable so reducing your costs is the main goal along with allowing them to be built as quickly as possible.
