There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.
The Staff of SOH
Is she available anywhere? Great job, as usual
I particularly like the spot lights on the island and those logically placed for hatches, ladders, small boat decks and stair platforms.
The animated signalers with lighted wands and protective clothing are a nice touch.
I dont want to be to picky, however naval ships at sea fly their sea ensigns from the main mast
its only when in harbour, anchor or at the buoy they shift their flags at both ends
any ship with a flight deck of any sort will most definitely will strike any staff at sea that may inhibit flying operations
any possibility of relocating the sea ensign
I was on her sister in pearl for a forenoon during RIMPAC '14 for several briefings and conferences, she was the Command Ship for all Maritime interceptions and boarding's for that exercise

I took this from our FLTDK
Thank for the explanation, the ensign was moved to the right place

Excellent work, Jeansy.
The Russian cruiser I was on at Pearl in '95 was another story.
thanks mate, now the next one, if you really want to be a step ahead of many(IAW AFTP1 NATO OPs manual) flag Hotel flying from the mast means flight operations are in progress, since a large number of Navies follow that direction, many more adopted(also in the civil world flag hotel means i have pilot onboard) so you can see how the mil went same same but different
if you can throw that up there, you are well above the bell curve for realism
