Stern mooring hole placed, and changed the colours

don't forget to recolour the gun and mast to the structure colour, and that the hull colour should be slightly darker then the structure colour. also, you need more mooring holes (amidships, near the gun, etc) and maybe an anchor winch which comes just over the bulwark. the liferafts... can't those better be placed on the structure, right now they take space which is hard needed... you could also put them higher up with the walkway underneath them.

other then that, it's getting nice. a few more antenna's, navigation lights, flag etc and we're getting somewhere.

Experimented with the rear life rafts. Is this better?
Also added amidships tie points.

much better! you'll need some more mooring holes in the bow now, and you can remove the liferafts at the bow (you have tripple ones astern now, that makes 18*25/2 = 225 crew.... well I would say you'll need enough rafts for 100 crew + 100 spare, so 8 liferafts on the ship are enough, IMO.
btw, I think at the mast foot the grey line should be an black one, there is no way your mast is just as wide as your bridge, is it?

Did what you said. Good?

(I'm devoted to getting this thing perfect. I'm beginning to really like this little ship )

You're unlikely to have a crew of more than 20-25 people.

Source Materiel is always welcome.

20-25? crew maybe, but you have marines and some evac/transport space... I would go for 50 or something.

I like it sort of a Offshore Patrol Vessel/ Fisheries Patrol. What about maybe containerizing it and have it able to fit out as a mine warfare vessel, training vessel, etc..... Nice clean and simple

Come see my fleet....

I might refit an ASW version.
Next thing to do (if there are no problems with this one) is an actual frigate to escort my carrier

Since I discovered that I was doing an earlier version, and after some serious mistakes (mainly in geography), I'm going to modify this ship.
I'm still keeping the above design, but I'm going to be trying something out.
Now my main problem is that the Oto breda 76mm is the super rapid, that didn't come out till the early '80's (apparently)... So I think I'm going to have to go for an older English gun. Is this true?
If so, I think this vessel is going to mount the 3"/70 gun, while the frigate is going to mount a 4.5 inch (the mark 6 not the mark 8)

Also, I'm going to swap out the stinger for a sea cat launcher. It's still small, but it's time appropriate.

Also gonna swap the helo for the wasp.

Oh, and can I use the RHIB?
